Warning - HWEA-Logger - Event 17 ; every 3 seconds and counting...

Hi,

I have some unusual and unsolved pc freeze for 1 1/2 years now, always the same and has never been fixed, reformat, sent in, new drives, updates, everything. Just once in a while during normal use or almost always during the use of the flash player (youtube.com eg.) or scrolling through a long file list in the explorer; the result is a frozen screen and a sound like porcelain or metal crashing down an echoing staircase (same sound repeating). - But this is not about that, just so you know that there are unsolved issues.

Today (09:43) my pc just stopped and rebooted. And so I checked a few things and found my way to the event viewer, where a warning was displayed:

Warning - WHEA-Logger - Event 17

I went to 'view all instances' and saw that I had over 15000 warnings of the same occurrence since I started my pc on Sunday 12:31.

The last search for an event like this (mostly with 3-4 warnings only) are about 2 years old, therefore I am opening a new thread.

I tried a few things:
- Updated all drivers
- Did different virus scans (kaspersky deep scan still running)
- Checked CPU temperature and cooling system
- Manually checked for new programs /changes in system files etc.

The general display of the Warning itself is:

A corrected hardware error has occurred.

Finishing this thread i now have 15962 warnings.....

Thx for your help, and I don't mind some tips regarding the the mentioned ongoing and unsolved problem in the beginning.

Hi, thx for the reply, but as I said, I already checked and installed all of the latest drivers. Also did all windows updates too now, problem still persists.

thx again,

i updated my spec profile, and yes, there were always problems with the sound card(s). the microphone e.g. never worked. i get sound via speakers, but all other options/devices in the windows sound manager are gone and i cant get any back, he doesn't find any. in between the mic worked, even though it was not detected and could not been turned off, even when i muted it, it constantly recorded until i disabled it and then it was gone again, even from the list.

as i mentioned in the profile, i had sent it in, and it cant be the cables or they would have found it, i checked myself too. and i updated both on-board and SB. I also disabled one and then the other to try out different things., btw. if i disable on-board sound, then the SB doesn't work either, which escapes me, since it should substitute the on-board chip .

regarding the driver detective, yeah, he found like 19 out of date even though my other driver scanning program said i was up to date (sound related drivers were not found as out of date or missing).

one was this: intel ich10 family pci express root port 1 3a40; from 2006

which might explain my pci express root warning. what i don't get is, why would i have a 2006 driver in a 2010 bought pc when the latest version is 2009. and that it started having problem now, without any changes to the hardware/software. its not that the driver gets old and says one day" well, i don't wanna do it any longer unless you update me".

and why does a program like driver detective cost money ? and why cant i find the drivers on the manufacturers service pages... i mean, if i screw up, ok, but that drivers get out of date is hardly any users fault.

sorry for my venting, but if i buy a product it is supposed to work. i am really pissed, if i have to pay for this or that service every other week to keep the system clean, up to date, protected, efficient or else.

thx again tough.
