Have you tried turning off your antivirus first. Or try it in safe mode?

Yes, both ,and no precursor events.
When I attempt restore in clean boot, on restart it flags fail to extract file:
C:\Windows\assembly\NativeImages_v4.0.30319_64\ComSvConfig
Error (0x80070005)
SFC detects no issues.

If you have a Windows 7 disc try booting and repair and do a system restore from that point, it might work.

Running cmd chkdsk/f, reads C file system as Raw. Is this a clue?

I'm afraid 9 time out of 10 your hard drive has failed, it's in a raw state. Have a gander at the site below which will explain it more detail.

Opted for reinstall, all appears well. No diagnosis though.
