    It still gives me the same result after CheckSUR.

    And by Event Viewer, do you mean the one that I can open by typing 'event viewer' in the 'Start' -> search bar?
    If so, it is giving me an error message saying: "Event Log service is unavailable. Verify that the service is running."
    and there's no log anywhere.
    The only thing showing on the left pane of Event Viewer is 'Event Viewer (Local)'.
    in the middle is that error message from above,
    and the right pane just contains Event Viewer (Local)'s 'Connect to Another computer...' 'view' 'Refresh' 'Help'.

    Do you think a video driver or chipsets has something to do with this kind of problems? 'cause when I searched through the internet, I found some of people recommending to try updating them to the newest.

    Every time I reinstalled Windows 7 (7 times in total), I just reused chipsets, video drivers, usb, and audio updates that I've put in my usb flash drive because that's convenient.
    If those files were happened to be corrupted and I used them to install, wouldn't that can be the cause of these problems?

    It looks as if there's something wrong with the Event Collector Service.
    Catch 22 applies here - the only sensible data would be in the Event Viewer- but that can't be used because teh Even Collector Service can't start... :)

    Best check the Dependency service, I suppose...

    Please run the following commands, and post the results.

    NET START HTTP
    SC QC HTTP

    The chances are that your Eventlog problems are caused by corrupted logs
    We'll have to see what logs are likely to be the cause, and rename them.

    Please run the following commands in an Elevated Command prompt, and post the results.

    DIR C:\Windows\System32\winevt\logs /on
    ICACLS C:\Windows\System32\winevt\logs

    It looks like it's the System log that's stuck
    we need to delete it, after saving the file to the desktop for any forensics..
    Reboot to Safe Mode with Command prompt, and run

    NET STOP EVENTLOG
    COPY C:\Windows\System32\winevt\logs\system.evtx %userprofile%\desktop
    DEL C:\Windows\System32\winevt\logs\system.evtx

    The reboot to normal mode, and see if you can now open Event Viewer
