Intermittant loss of Reliability Monitor graph display
I am having an annoying intermittant problem with Reliability Monitor on my system (Windows 7 64-bit, Dell XPS 8700 with Intel i7 running McAfee Antivirus Plus). I have searched various forums and can find no reports of a similar problem...
Occasionally, and at random, my Reliability Monitor graph display will not show the expected information. If I open Action Center > Maintenance > View reliability history, I usually see the normal data table:
After about every 4th or 5th system startup (or restart), when I attempt to open the Reliability Monitor it will open to an incomplete display, with the message "Reliability Monitor is generating the report. Please wait.":
Note that this is NOT the "blank" display that seems to be commonly seen, where the Reliability Monitor needs to be reset. My reliability Monitor is actually working correctly. There is just a glitch or hang in populating the graphic display. The RAC task is completing as expected, and, when working, the reliability data is always up to date.
And also note, the data IS actually "present" in the table, it just isn't visible. If I click in the table in the position where a day's data SHOULD be, the details will be displayed below the graph normally:
If I reboot the system (either a shutdown > startup or a restart) MOST of the time the Monitor will display normally. The problem just seems to occur randomly.
If I end and restart the explorer.exe process without rebooting, the Monitor will usually display normally.
The only other related symptom is that when the Reliability Monitor won't display, the Windows Experience Index window is also blank:
My system is otherwise working perfectly, with no other unusual symptoms or error messages.
Any Ideas?
Thanks!
