    Asus G73JH stuck on infinite Startup Repair

    I had updated my Avira Antivirus on my Windows 7 PC yesterday and the PC has stuck on an endless Startup Repair loop since then. I couldnt get into Safe Mode without getting a BSOD then reboot which I could not use the SF Diagnostic Tool to create a BSOD post.

    So far, I had run chkdsk twice and window's build in memtest tool, and it seemed like there isnt any issue with my hardware. No bad sectors found with chkdsk and a normal memtest results seemed to be fine.

    I had also done a System Restore which didnt help the situation.

    I tried to disable the BSOD auto reboot and here are the technical information found on the screen:
    BAD_POOL_HEADER
    *** STOP: 0x00000019 (0x00000000000000003, 0xFFFFF8A0004E06D0, 0x0000000000000000, oxFFFFF8A0004E06D0)

    Could this be a virus or trojan in the system? Or Avira messed up my system's startup? Or an impending HDD/RAM failure?

    Information about my RoG laptop:
    Asus G73JH A2 laptop
    Windows 7 Home Premium x64
    Intel i7 720QM 1.6GHz
    8GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    2x Seagate Momentus XT (Could the HDD be the root of the issue?)
    AMD Radeon 5870 Mobility 1GB

    I would appreciate if anyone could assist me in solving this issue. Thanks in advance.
