Strange Registry and eventlog issue

[Guest Adam Simmonds (SimAda00)]

I noticed quite recently that my machine goes alittle strange. I started

getting event 333 errors in the system event log.

 

This occured a few times and was resolved by a restart, how ever now if i

enter the registry (regedit) and either search or browse. it seems to then

cause these errors and at the latest attempt it has corrupted eventlogs.

 

Aswell as this happening, now when the machine is shutting down, it

completes shutdown tasks and the little Windows is shutting down screen goes

away but it sits their for about 5 minutes with the hd light on constantly,

it may be longer i havnt bothered timing it.

 

I would rather not have to reinstall this machine, i have ran chkdsk /r on

both hds, aswell as running a diagnostic test on both drives which passed

with no errors. I have used msconfig to disable all non msft services, and

then renamed them.
