start > run, type
eventvwr.msc
<enter>

Right click application and choose CLEAR ALL EVENTS, do not save the log
Right click system and choose CLEAR ALL EVENTS, do not save the log

Reboot. Work with computer until error recurs. reboot

start > run, type
eventvwr.msc
<enter>

Look under systems and applications for items with red Xs that happened at the SAME time as your problem...list them here.

ok, you're kinda new at this stuff, I think

start > run, type
eventvwr.msc
<enter>


Now, Look under system

Now, at the top, click on VIEW, choose FILTER

uncheck INFORMATION

Now look for items with red Xs that happened at the SAME time as your problem...list them here.

Now, Look under application

Now, at the top, click on VIEW, choose FILTER
