I have one idea. Go into bios and switch from AHCI to IDE, and see if you still have the problem.

Every where I look, people say that switching to IDE solves the problem.

also i went into bios looked everywhere and cannot find it AHCI OR IDE

also many people say doing this fixes the problem
Goto Control Panel\System and Maintenance\System
Click on "Advanced System Settings" on the left panel
Under "Startup and Recovery" select "Settings"
Make sure you have a check mark beside "Write and event to the system log"
but if i tick it and click ok i went back to it and it was unticked it seems it will not let me tick it

a repair install would take 7 hours forget it any other options why can't i tick the box why does it untick

if your bios isn't up to date, do that first, and you might not have the same errors after reinstalling windows, but I think Petey7 is right when he says you may have to reinstall windows.
