I've been dealing with the problem for a couple weeks and can conclude that it is most likely a hardware issue since I have reformatted my storage drives and reinstalled windows 8 about 3 times.
I've noticed that when I install even 1 update for windows, the next time it starts up it enters this boot loop, restarts itself about 3 times, then goes into automatic repair mode.
I've tried just installing my GPU drivers before the windows updates but halfway through the installation process my PC crashes, restarts itself about 3 times and yadda yadda yadda.
I've talked with all of my manufactureres and microsoft hasn't been able to help me with the boot loop problem.
Now this all happened when I was playing Dead Space when my monitor suddenly went black, flashed a few times, then boot loop.
I'm very sure it's my card at this point, and talking with the manufacturerers of my GPU confirm that too, but they said it could also be my PSU or another part that is malfunctioning/defective.
The warranties are not a problem, it's just knowing which part to replace...
Since I don't have another build to test my parts on, and the computer repair shops are a bit pricey, how can I ensure which part is the culprit in all this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
EDIT: Here is my spec list:
CPU: FX-6300
GPU: EVGA GTX 760
HDD: Seagate Barracuda
SSD: Sandisk 128 GB
Mobo: Biostar TA 970
And my OS is Windows 8
