My machine (an H-P Notebook Pavilion running Vista Home Premium 64 SP2 with 4 gigs of onboard RAM plus 4gigs of ReadyBoost and 4gigs of PageFile) is generally running fine but I do install a lot of sofware apps to check them out and often uninstall them if I discover they are useless to me. I used to be an engineer before I became terminnally-ill 
so I really like utilities. :D Also, I tweak it frequently closely following the instructions from you really bright guys on the respected forums.
Anyway, I periodically check the event viewer logs notwithstanding that health check finds my machine to be generally healthy. I haven't experienced any boot problems other than on rare occasion it will be nearly loaded and automatically return itself to the boot screen with the H-P logo and boot up fine then.
This evening I noticed several critical events under Diagnostics-Performance Operational. I'm pasting a copy of these into this missive because I am wondering if this is anything serious.
Naturally, I don't have an original installation disk for the machine thank you H-P but I do have a set of disks that H-P provided me one time when they couldn't get my machine to burn disks from the Recovery partition that came in the first machine I purchased prior to them having to replace it when it crashed during a BIOS upgrade. I also have a raw version of my operating system I purchased but can't use because it voids my warranty.
Anyway here is what the event viewer published:

Please let me know what you think. I have another year extended waranty that H-P provided me 'non grata' since I've had a number of other unrelated problems with the machine.
Thank you,
