Hope this is the correct event logs file. Would dread thought of clean instal, as system only about a month old, and have many apps.

Bob,
Just in case of Malware...Malwarebytes is FAR better than the MSRT.
Please download the free version of Malwarebytes.
Update it immediately.
Do a FULL system scan
Let us know the results at the end.
Malwarebytes : Download free malware, virus and spyware tools to get your computer back in shape!
Several issues of varying importance.
First and foremost from Feb 14th till today you have a disk paging error that repeats itself daily. Run a chkdsk
Second Your disk bench software is hanging and should be removed.
Third You MCEBuddy software has remenants left over and should be removed
Fourth, you have net framework issue (needs to be uninstalled then re-installed)
and there is much more.
K
Malwarebytes found 2 threats, which I have disabled and restarted (see log txt). Removed MCEBuddy. Have run chkdsk. Done a net framework repair (is that ok?). Can't seem to locate disk bench software, but will keep looking. And the much more ??? Now found and removed disk bench.

Has crashed 3 times in last 15 mins or so: the latest whilst I was trying to get a new event log. I will try again and post it with this as edited version. (Am using MacBook at moment). Drat! It keeps telling me invalid file. will keep trying.......
I must be doing something wrong. Is it the filename perhaps? Tried newfiles.evtxt and some others.
Here we go. Forgot to zip.

In addition to the disk check Ken recommended, try running a HDD Diagnostic. I recommend SeaTools for Windows:
SeaTools for Windows | Seagate
To run chkdsk, Start > "cmd" > "chkdsk /r".
Only certain file types are allowed as uploads here; try sticking the log in a ZIP file first, and then uploading it.
Cannot run the chkdsk, as it says I need elevated privileges. I am user/administrator. I have temporarily disconnected the external hdd. Getting constant crashes. When I go start>chkdsk> I can right click on the CHKDSK.exe and run as administrator, but it only runs in read-only mode. When completed it closes. Noo feedback?

One thing you can try if the BSODs are too severe is booting into Safe Mode. If there is any software causing the problem, it should be disabled in Safe Mode. If the BSODs persist in Safe Mode, then we can resort to bootable hardware diagnostics.
To run chkdsk an Administrator, right-click on cmd.exe when it appears and select "Run as administrator".
Regarding CHKDSK, see amended post above. Have uploaded seagate Seatools. Did test on ext hdd, and found no errors.
Am going to have to leave this overnight. Thanks Jonathan and others. Will probably have to review in about 20 hours' time as busy day tomorrow. Don't seem to have been able to improve situation. BTW I seem to have a Z-drive, which I think is a virtual drive I somehow created when I initially attempted to setup network with Mac and old XP PC. Other problems have made me put it on the backburner. I think it is only a file sharing medium, but as I said, I haven't got around to following it through. Sure have difficulty in finding files and docs though. Previously all I had was a C drive. Now I have software on C (SSD) and everything else is on platter hard drive F. Goodnight all.
