event viewer

On Windows desktops, if something went wrong, your first instinct for years may have been to open up the Event Viewer and see if anything red or yellow shows up.

Hi! Does anyone here use this windows tool to troubleshoot. I think it's a great tool. Not wonderful, but it might help lead you to problems you may be having. I don't understand why more help forums don't at least call attention to it. To me it's the event viewer in a graft form, and a lot...

To save confusion, I'm going to refer to the two programs as X and Y. When I have program X running, it all works fine and I can open any program alongside it. However, if I try and open program Y while X is running, X crashes without warning or an error message and Y opens up as normal. I've...

My computer randomly crashses while I play games, not all games though, so far I know that it occurs in Smite and Marvel Heroes 2016. I do not know what causes it, and I look in event viewer but never find anything that looks like it would cause a crash. I do not think that it is graphics...

Hello everyone, today I expected a hard (or more than even one) issue(s) with my computer. Yesterday I installed Windows 7 Security updates and also with a driver clean installer newer GPU drivers. Somehow I recognized, that the system startup went a bit slower so I thought I make a restore of...

When I start MS build-in Event Viewer, then go to Custom Views--->Adminstrative Events and right click and select "Properties" then all the parameters are disabled resp. read-only. See attached snapshot Why? As far as I remember they were editable in the past. I could (de-)select e.g...

I have been logging a security audit error since Sep 2015, on my desktop Asus P9X79-E-WS (Xeon E5-1650 v2) running Windows 7 Ultimate (x64) Service Pack 1 (build 7601). Only recently - one week maybe - I have been experiencing my mouse hesitating and a beep when the mouse stops momentarily...

Hey, My system crashes unexpectedly and seems really random. It can be from opening Chrome to playing games. The event viewer states it's my videocard that stopped responding. This one happens every now and then. I have recently re-installed Windows 7 Ultimate x64, and have the latest drivers...

Hello! I've found two problems in the Event Viewer on my newly installed Windows 7 Ultimate x64. I had some Peer Networking problems too but I fixed that from a post here on Windows Forums. :) But I don't know how to fix these two problems. First one is a warning (Logname: Application |...

Hello everyone! I'm hoping someone could look at these dump files and see what's going on with this PC. Have been having critical event id 41 task category (63) Kernel-Power error messages. Thanks!

The object is to create a unique Event Viewer ID that appears when a specific background process starts - Windows 10 Calculator, for example. When calculator is in use, it is listed only in the Task Manager APPS area. However, when it's not running it randomly appears only as a background...

On both of my Windows 8.1 systems, the MSN Weather app has decided it does not want to open correctly. The live tile works and the App appears to open, but the circling dots never stop. Possibly it is trying to get info from some source and is unable to do so. I have uninstalled and...

Hello. The event viewer is throwing an error about "Local Driver Service". The exact quote is: "Local Driver Service terminated because the specified file cannot be found" My question is how can I tell which file cannot be found. Thanks in advance.

Don't recall having that issue prior to upgrading to Windows 10. Basically, when I turn on the PC after hibernation, it often just restarts instead of resuming. I tried to Google the issue, but it seems to be widespread around laptops, tablets, etc which makes it harder to pinpoint what exactly...
