I also ran the steps again and attached another zip file.
As a side note, I was able to load windows normally so I did the steps outside of safe mode. But still, i am still encountering issues with the cpu freezing and such. I have noticed the cpu is warm usually when it occurs? Not sure if thats significant. Also I was able to run the perfmon report and would like some insight on what to do next. The error was :
