What you need to think about is either you re install windows when a problem happens - normally after a windows update
or a driver update.
So if you have an external drive you can make a system image of where you have it all working correctly.
Then with an issue you restore the system image.
Each time you add a new program you make a new image.
You can have more then 1 system image.

i might do that if problems persist

been a full day and so far so good

if you guys need to close the post its ok by me

hopefully i wont have to bother you guys for a while

does this problem still look like a driver or software problem? not sure why it would have crashed on the restore

thanks so much again i really appreciate your help

Can you attach the log here please

[xpoox]

thanks again for reopening this. i hope i didnt jump the gun too early and have it opened for nothing.

everything was fine for the last week and then friday it crashed once. the only change that happened to the pc was i installed vlc media player earlier in the day.

its been a little over 24hrs since the crash and no further problems.

i will attach the mtb log

[PeterOz]

first thing I notice is window is not activated.

like not having used a product key?

ETW Provider Security and has not granted enable permissions to the Event Log service identity

Try this fix for above error ETW provider security – fix event id 30 | >_

Steam is also causing problems.
This could be a corrupted steam install or a corrupt windows install.
Step 1. Type cmd in the search box, and then right-click Command Prompt and select Run as administrator. Then click on Yes to access CMD with admin rights.

Step 2. Type the sfc /scannow command in the elevated command prompt and hit Enter. After that, the tool will scan and try to repair the corrupted system files automatically.

Step 3. If the SFC command was unable to repair corrupt system files, you can try running the following DISM commands:

[ul]
[li]DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth[/li][li]DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth[/li][li]DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth[/li][/ul]
Step 4 Run windows update.
Try the above steps first. From Here

should i wait to see if the pc crashes again before trying these?

if it was just like a one time random crash and its going fine now im kind of afraid im just going to cause more problems

how can windows keep getting so corrupt? i made a fresh install usb , no clue why all these things could be happening

[PeterOz]

Sure

how can windows keep getting so corrupt? i made a fresh install usb , no clue why all these things could be happening

Not saying it is corrupt.
Process of elimination.
You can install a program e.g steam which has a hiccup and causes a corruption.

thanks so much for the help, if it happens again ill try the steps you listed

if it does crash again do you need another mtb log or just do those fixes?

and do i try the etw fix first and then the scan stuff

or do i try the steps first from the last link you posted after run windows update

[PeterOz]

Activate windows first.
Windows update second.
New log
ETW might be one off, new log will tell us.

@veeg mark as pending please

[xpoox]

it says windows is activated with a digital license when i check

i have a legit key that i used during install

checked windows update and its up to date

[xpoox]

do you still want me to post a new mtb log even tho they checked out ok?
