Did any of those scans find any infections?

Just saying it didn't work doesn't give us much information.
What did you do and what was the results.

Example:
What didn't work?
Did the download not work?
Did the program downloaded not install?
Did the program install but wouldn't run?
We need more precise answers.

The startup repair did not find any problems. I checked my reliability history and under
"Explorer.EXE" it says

Do you get a dump file when this happens? If so, the BSOD team can analyze the files requested for a BSOD analysis and perhaps find the culprit.

No I do not get a dump file.

Have you tried to see what the event logs reports after a restart?
