Moving ALL Windows Event Logs Off Of SSD?
Nov 28, 2012
I looked at my specific manufacturers toolbox to see details about the drive and I noticed that it has already accumulated over 5 billion writes so far. This thing is a little over a week old. So then I'm looking at my event logs and I'm thinking that every single one of these entries is a small write here and there and EVERYWHERE and it just never stops!! Then I tried to move the logs to my D: drive by modifying the settings within Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) and the major ones did move there, but then there are over a hundred different other log categories under windows and there were no group policy settings for those. I was inspired to start this thread by another thread regarding clearing all those log files with a simple bat file. That conversation is here http://forums.cnet.com/7723-19411_102-378338/delete-all-event-logs-at-once-in-windows-7/ They came up with a .bat file that does clean them all out with one swoop. I am not good with those things and I was hoping that modifying something small would enable those certain files ending in .evtx to be moved to a new location and registered within Windows. Otherwise it's a huge amount of time going through each one to change the location from within the Event Viewer.

I have a PC I assembled last June. After I loaded it up with my applications and connected my devices I began getting device disconnect sounds as well as a few device connect sounds. I've been troubleshooting by disconnecting all devices then adding devices back one at a time to try to find the culprit. I'm not getting consistent or convincing results so far, but will keep working on that approach.
A Web search on the subject returns lots of results where users are experiencing these sounds. Answers are sparse. And antagonizing! I have not found any hints as to how to extract from the system what is actually happening. What I am looking for is if anybody knows where in the system I can find a log that records device connect/disconnect events associated with these sounds.

I was told that I need to have my event log cleaned up (those that show crtiical error more than anything else) so that it would not fill up and cause a computer crash? I have never heard this before for a home computer.

I have looked all over the internet and these forums for an answer before I posted this. I can find little pieces of help here and there but not fully what I need. I need help writing code in a batch file that will allow me to automatically save the event viewer logs to a certain location with a certain file name and then clear the log out of event viewer.
1. I have 6 logs, Application/Security/System/DNS Server/Microsoft Office Diagnostics/Microsoft Office Sessions
2. I would like these logs to be saved with the building name that the servers are located in, also including the date that it was cleared and which log it was
3. Example of saved log name: "Bldg 248 16Nov12 Application" (date can also be in 20121116 format)
4. Logs need to save to My Documents Folder

Basically my laptop has been having very high temperatures for a long time (usually ~60C for CPU and often 100-110 for GPU...insanely high, in other words) For example, see how hot the machine gets just by resuming from a sleep (this is all within a minute or so):I have been seeing the following error in event viewer each time I start Windows (4 entries) for some time:So today I bit the bullet and had the back cover off the laptop and noticed what a bad state the thermal compound was in, for both the CPU and the chipset chip, so wiped it off using TIM Cleaner, and then applied new thermal compound and put the laptop back together. I was actually shocked because for the first time since I can remember, I could feel cold air blowing from the vents of my laptop! I logged into Windows and noticed that my temperatures had fallen and were staying at around the below:Not as low as I'd like but a massive improvement. Trouble is, I am still getting the WHEA-Logger event errors in Windows Event Viewer ('processor core') and wondered if this was not in regards to overheating after all?The plus side is my laptop is now almost totally silent - the way it must have been when I bought it new 3 years ago! But I was wondering how to investigate these WHEA-Logger errors?PS - I think I accidentally got some TIM Cleaner spilt on the carpet. Might be nothing to worry about, but I did notice the "Harmful" hazard symbol on the bottle?

Problem:
Computer rarely restarts during the time I am using it. It restarts if I leave stuff downloading overnight or if I leave on during the day. I then have to re-install any software I installed the previous time because it says it was shutdown improperly ( CRASHED).
I then check the Event logger and see it has multiple crash reports.
Shows as
Level: Critical
Source: Kernal-Power
Event ID: 41
Task Category: 63
I show 20 of these crashes so far and I just built the system yesterday. I need help in determining what could be causing this. The motherboard? Old Videocard? Windows 7? 64 Bit platform? Any thoughts?
I just built a brand new i7 920 System.
Specs:
i7 920 ( Stock Speed )
Asus P6T SE Motherboard
Windows 7 Pro 64 Bit
Power Supply Antec 750W Modular PSU
CPU Cooler: Zalman CNPS 10X Extreme
Samsung DVD burner
Seagate 1TB Drive 7200 RPM's
RAM: Kingston Hyper X 6GB of DDR3 @ 16000MHZ ( stock also) KHX1600C8D3K3/6GX
All parts are brand new except for the videocard which is a NVIDIA Geforce 7300 GS

I am having trouble with my notebook. I recently decided to turn on the screensaver to "blank" after 10 minutes and set the power managemet to never turn off the display under either power condition. I would leave my computer for 10 minutes or so and then when I would come back, I was logged out. Yes, I mean logged out as in all open, running applications were closed, not just at the login screen. I searched the web and found many others with a similar problem. Most replies refer to the check box on the screensaver setup page that says "on resume, display logon screen." This is quite different though as even with that checked, the current user is not actually logged off and the running applications are not shutdown. I (and others with this problem) are actually being logged off. Incidentally, the box is not checked, and now the screensaver is diabled. Power management is set to never turn anything off, ever. I still have the problem. I then saw a post that said I needed to uncheck the "require password to logon" option in the user settings. Seemed odd since my computer worked as it should for the last 9 months with that option checked (by default), but I gave it a try. The system still logs me out. I then went back to the screensaver and re-enabled it with the "bubbles" but this time, I set the timeout to 9999 minutes, figuring that it would then take a week of idle time before it logged me out, if in fact that was the problem. Didn't work, still being logged out with applications running. I have searched all over the web, but can't find a solution.

my Windows 7 install won't boot (not even Safe Mode!) In an attempt to rectify the situation, without a fresh install, as the amount of programs that need to be downloaded and re installed will devour my Internet quota for the month, I've run Startup Repair to no avail. I then ran SFC through CMD, and it found corruption but was unable to fix it. Now I have the CBS.log, except I can't read it very well, and the usual findstr command doesn't work when using CMD from Startup Recovery. So I need to know how to get that file out of there using CMD onto a USB or something, so I can find the corrupted files, and get to fixing them.

When I log off of my profile, but leave the computer on, after a certain amount of time, it always logs in to the first user profile in the list, which starts with an A. I have looked on how to stop this from happening but can't find how. It doesn't effect the performance at all,m but is kind of annoying to have to log off of that profile and log in to another.

Just recently I upgraded a friends computer to Windows 7 from Vista. It was really slow and clogged with random background tasks and it seemed like the best option at the time. Anyway, she just told me that now when she turns the laptop on and logs into her account, it logs her back off and shuts down. Specs (as far as I can emember):Intel Celeron(?) dual-core @ ~2.4GHz2GB RAMIntegrated graphicsWindows 7 32-bitThe laptop is between 3 and 4 years old. I only installed Avast and OpenOffice on it last night and it wasn't doing any of this. She also never turns her laptop off if that has any bearing on the matter. I'm having her run the Windows 7 diagnostic stuff right now so I will post later as to what she finds.

While taking a look around my Windows 7 HDD in Ubuntu, which can see tons of files that Windows won't show you, I went into my user account named "owner" and I saw a bunch of what appears to be Windows Log or preference files. They have long random names and with weird file extensions that Gedit (Like Notepad for Ubuntu but much more advanced) won't open. File sizes range from 0 bytes to 6.2MB with the average size at 64 or 512KB in size. I would like to know if 1. They are logging data and sending it to Microsoft. 2. They are old Preference files that need to be cleared out. 3. Why such crazy file names?

I'm not sure if I turned it off or not the other day and for some reason my security logs are inconclusive. Are there any other ways to find out when it was turned on, and when it was turned off?

After I leave the computer for a while, the moniter shuts off for a second, and displays the login screen.
The computer used to stay logged in all the time, so i'm not sure what happened...

I'm not sure if the issue is with the screensaver or what. I used a Batman screensaver before this Inception screensaver, and MSN didn't log off. Although, in the far recesses of my mind, I remember this happening to me a year ago, but don't remember how I solved it.The Inception screensaver was easy to install, and works just fine. The only issue is that when I move my mouse to turn the screensaver off, I see that I was logged out of MSN. If anyone has any ideas, I'd be glad to hear them. Again, none of myother screensavers have this effect: only Inception does. It was downloaded from here:' Inceptionust Enter the Site, skip the trailer, click menu and choose downloads. The screensaver is one of the options. I thought it was really cool, but it's not working out too well for m

Just installed Windows 7 fresh on a new intel 320m 160gb. After i type in my password at the login screen windows hangs for about 15 - 20 seconds on welcome with the moving circle. Total boot time is about 40 - 50 seconds. I've checked the event log and an event 100 and event 200 show up at every boot and shut down but it does not tell me what process is causing this. I've tried a clean re install of windows 7 with a non sp1 and an sp1 disk and get the same results. I used windows boot or starup repair and it said something about an audio device? So i unplugged my Asus xonar but im still getting the same hang time on welcome. So far nothing is plugged in the computer except for mouse keyboard monitor and ethernet cable. I'm on a home network with one computer.The setup is gigabyte z68x ud3h b3 G skill 16gb ram or now 8corsair 800ax psui7 2600kgtx560I've installed plenty of windows 7 on many intel ssd's (mainly x25 m) and this is the first time ive seen this slow of a boot time and its especially odd that it gets hung up on the welcome screen.

I have a Dell notebook wiht Windows 7 64-bit that is getting a BSOD (0xF4) and I'm fairly certain is was caused by a rootkit, although I'm not 100% certain. One debugger shows wininit.exe as the culprit and another shows the kernel itself. At any rate, the system will not boot. It gets to where the login dialog is about to show and gets the BSOD. It will not boot in safemode either.Anyway, I've tested the hard drive and memory and I'm fairly certain that it is corrupted and/or rootkit files that is the problem. So I've booted to a Windows 7 repair disk and ran SFC and it tells me that files are corrupted and it can't fix them.Normally I would check the CBS.log file to see what's up, but I'm not sure where the log file is when running SFC from the repair disk. I've searched the "X" drive and the "C" drive, but there's no log files.

I bought a floor model laptop that has an account called Kiosk on it. I created a new account and an admin account and deleted the Kiosk account. When windows 7 boots up the kiosk account pops up and attempts to log in. I have to switch users and manually enter the name of the new account. When I try to manage accounts the Kiosk account is nowhere to be found just the two accounts that I created.

I've been having problems upgrading a brand new Vaio from Vista to 7 using the manufacturer-supplied upgrade. I initially tried clean installs, but whilst it would boot to desktop just fine, it was clearly having a lot of issues and was practically unusable.
I've been trying the in-place upgrade (as recommended by the manufacturer), but it always says the upgrade failed then rolls back to Vista.
No explanation for the failure is given, but I unearthed an error log that might explain what's going on.
Below is the error log, unfortunately it doesn't give many clues as to what the problem is. I suspect there is an offending piece of software (probably a driver) that is screwing up the install, but uless I can identify what it is I can't remove it. I'm tempted to RMA the laptop, but if it's a simple matter of uninstalling something then I'd much rather sort it out myself.
So.... Can anyone decrypt this?
