My computer is a Dell Inspiron, recently it has been turning off randomly, and then reboots and says "Your PC ran into an error and needs to restart" then it goes turns off and comes back on and goes to it again, and again, and again. I've heard this is called the "Automatic Repair Loop" will resetting the pc to the factory default fix it?
 
Solution
It should, provided it's not caused by faulty hardware. No amount of resetting will mend hardware.
You'll just have to run factory recovery and hope it works. Bit drastic but I can't suggest any other way of getting out of that loop.
