How many error messages do you get each day?

[braincramp]

I would find it interesting to see how many error messages show up in your event viewer, on average, each day.

I can get a lot when I am installing/configuring new hardware or software, and most of my error messages get generated on each start-up. On average when things are running reasonably well I still get 10 or 12 a day. Most (all?) of these don't seem to cause any problems for me.

In any event - how many do you get?

The same 3 at each startup.

The same 2 every boot and I could stop them if I disabled a couple of un-needed drivers. In fact I might get off my bum and do that.

Mostly I get "The server {E10F6C3A-F1AE-4ADC-AA9D-2FE65525666E} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout." which I think is caused by the latest few releases of the AMD video drivers.

Huh...unless I have a problem this is not really even an area that I look at on a regular basis. I went back and looked at my event viewer over the past week here on my work machine and I get 2-4 errors in any given day. Mostly WMI errors, certificate renewals, domain controller errors when I am not connected to the network and thus cannot find a DC for authentication.

I used to get some errors when I tried to install and run some 32 bit utilities on my new laptop with Win 7 x64..... Later on found 64 bit replacements and the errors stopped.

Now there are hardly any errors with normal usage. Windows 7 x64 is sailing smoothly...

I really do not know. But since I am not a power user, I am not alarmed. However, this question has made me curious and I am now on a quest to learn how many errors the system is producing.

I hope I can not crash the system doing this but I will soon find out.

Thanks for tweaking my curiosity.

I'm not sure I know how to read the log correctly.

Looking at "administrative events" under "custom views", I see 579 errors over the 150 days since I built this PC---that is 3 or 4 a day. The most common type of error is "application popup", followed by "dhcp client".

The "application popup" errors appear to involve Gearaspiwdm.sys not loading. Apparently, it has to do with iTunes communicating with my DVD drive---which I could not care less about.

I have no problems in day-to-day operation and am completely unaware of these errors as they occur. I had not even looked at event viewer since I built the machine.

Only one marked "critical" in those 150 days--from a power outage.
