    Hello Noel,

    I tried the fixit, but it didn't solve the issue. I also downloaded and installed your second link, but I am not familiar with the CheckSUR process, would you be able to guide me?

    Thanks

    That was the process - didn't you bother to read the article at all?

    Please find the CheckSUR.log file, (C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CheckSUR.log) and arrach it to your reply.

    This error is due to a faulty memory.

    You can run a memtest for 10h, and if you see 5 or more errors you can ask a RAM replacement.

    Memtest is embed with the ubuntu or lubuntu iso file.

    You just need to create a flash drive with linuxliveusb.com, and boot on it.

    If you don't see the memtest menu, press the down arrow multiple time so the live usb won't launch.

    I had the exact same issue following a fresh Windows 7 Pro install.
    I managed to fix it by installing KB3138612 (32 bit).
