And as far as ESET, I was instructed to download that to run a scan when the other person was helping to check for malware. I run AVAST. I'm also getting a notification that for some reason windows automatic updates isn't on? Not sure what I should do about that at the moment.

Thank you that alternate method was much easier. When I copy paste the command to I put space in between the first command and the second or do I hit return??
If talking about space after you open up Command prompt, no space, just copy paste what i wrote right next to the blinking cursor, after system32 . As shown in my images for every one i mention ,DISM, SFC and even chkdsk if you do this one.
With chkdsk it will schedule it on your next restart, rest of them do it right away without need for restart.

Did you check the settings for Windows updates, what does it show ? Plus if telling you in notification area, with red X on little flag, should bring you right to it when clicked on. Possible conflict between now having both Scanners, AVAST and ESET. Now with possible Windows update issue, let's run these items in command prompt first, DISM then System file checker (sfc) as could be corrupted or missing system files.

This is what I'm confused about:
Copy and past this exactly into command prompt dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
Do not close the command prompt and copy and paste this sfc /scannow
Do I run the first command prompt then the second one when the first is finished?

I realized someone logged into my kids' profile instead of mine (admin) and that is where I saw the flag with the X. When I log into mine, it's not there.?? I did go ahead and uninstall ESET a moment ago anyway.

I just reread one of your last posts and I think I got it. I ran the first command prompt and got this:
Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 6.1.7600.16385
Image Version: 6.1.7600.16385
Error: 87
The restorehealth option is not recognized in this context.
For more information, refer to the help.
The DISM log file can be found at C:\Windows\Logs\DISM\dism.log
Running second command now.

Either DISM command was put in wrong, left space when putting it into command prompt give you this error.
Other reason is saying logged in as another user, when saw windows update error, now if you tried DISM then would give you this error, because DISM uses windows update to fix issues.
Other reasons could be syntax of way i am showing you to use DISM command in Windows 7, maybe different then i would in Windows 8.1, but i do not think it is, from researching.
If SFC does not help, can't run DISM, still issue with Windows update, believe there is a fixit through microsoft you can run.
Try to follow the dism log and post it here, so i can see error codes if any, from where you showed in post before this C:\Windows\Logs\DISM\dism.log, look in your C: drive go to Windows folder then logs then DISM, where it should be.
Let me know if scandisk SFC showed anything or if able to run it, sounding more and more like possible corruption in system files

I copied and pasted the DISM and there were no spaces before it. The SFC said it didn't find anything.
I ran the chkdisk but don't know where to find that report.
Here is the DISM:

And FYI, there is no longer an X on the flag. Clicking on it shows no issue with windows update.

On post of mine # 9 i showed you how to get a text of checkdsk log on your desktop, here it is again.
1. Press the Windows + R keys to open the Run dialog, type powershell.exe, and press Enter. Or click start menu click on Run, type powershell.exe
2. In PowerShell, copy and paste the command below, and press Enter. Remember close to the blinking cursor no spcaes before it.
get-winevent -FilterHashTable @{logname="Application"; id="1001"}| ?{$_.providername –match "wininit"} | fl timecreated, message | out-file Desktop\CHKDSKResults.txt
3. You will now have a CHKDSKResults.txt file created on your desktop that is the log file of your chkdsk scan results from Event Viewer.
4. Post text here so we can look at it.
O.k. said you have 2 users on PC, other one had the red X in notification area telling you problem with windows update. If you run check for updates manually, does it work any red X saying failed ?
You should get in habit of making restore points, so when this issue is fixed you have a way to go back, fix an issue through system restore point, last known good.
Did not see why it failed, the DISM command, i felt another issue on PC could be causing it to.
Let me know how the PC has been. Try DISM again then run Scandisk again.
Run as Aministrator command prompt copy and paste exactly, no spaces before word dism in command prompt
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
Can look back on all replies in posts on this topic if you forget how do something that was explained already.

I have 4 users on this pc. Myself (admin), my husband and one for both of my kids and one labeled Admin (because I wanted to try and separate my stuff from the main administrator stuff), the three of which are seldom used.
I have no X on my flag. I don't even see a flag in my kids' profile.
Secunia? is telling me I have manual updates to do.
PC has shut down three times this afternoon while trying to create a document with windows office.
I'm going to try running the DCIM again.

I got the same error again when trying to run the DCIM.

O.k. for one, your chkdsk looks good for Hard Drive no bad sectors, health of drive is good, it did make some corrections to file system. Found out that DISM is only for later versions of operating system like Windows 8 + 8.1 for way i showed you, reason it is not working.
But If SFC didn't find any issues, then you don't need to worry or think about Dism.
I am going to research this more and see, but this may or may not cure your problem, but what it can do is possibly fix another combining issue with your main issues, why i would like to make it at least run successfully.
As i wrote as other options this could be are either hardware, software and hardware drivers conflicts going on here to do this.

You disabled automatic restart option in advanced system settings way it was showed before, when you disable this option it will usually allow the computer to display the error message, instead of rebooting constantly, feature of windows. Are you seeing any error messages at all, any time BSOD ?
Any failing hardware component in your computer could cause your computer to unexpectedly generate an error or reboot without warning.Hardware failures like,Video card, RAM, even the power supply. Also any New drivers updated for system hardware.
Can you check the Device Manager,click start button, in start menu search box type Device Manager press enter.
If you receive an error when trying to open the Device Manager, this may be an indication of corrupt files in Windows.
Look at examples here tell me find anything like this http://www.computerh...es/ch001212.htm
System recovery (Reinstalling Windows 7) is an option, but i feel only in the case of software, bad drivers or corrupt and missing files for Operating system.
Mentioned once before, but i know you feel your PC case is big and well ventilated, but overheating components can also make a system restart like this. When was last time you cleaned inside of case, dust and dirt can be damaging even when might not see it in big amounts, does not mean not it is not in something, just another reason this could happen. Just going through all the possibilities here.
Seems i forgot to even try asking this from begining and even looking through your Malware posts were you received help, may help some have make and model of PC and anything added into the system (hardware). All i see from Malware was processor info, intel and it's Windows 7.
