I have a setup where I have Windows 8.1 installed through bootcamp on a separate partition. I haven't booted into bootcamp natively for a while and have updated to Yosemite in the meantime. Now quite often when I try and boot into bootcamp it loads windows and I see the windows desktop for a few seconds and then it reboots automatically back into OS X. I have also had this behaviour when booting into OS X Utilities too.

I've tried everything from scanning partitions for errors in disk utility to deleting the bootcamp partition, recreating it and restoring a winclone image and also reinstalling windows afresh, yet the issue is still there. I can get into windows eventually after two or three attempts however.

I'm inclined to think it may be a Yosemite issue as I've tried most other things that I can think of with the exception of going back to Mavericks. Just wondered if anyone might have any ideas. Thanks in advance.
