Event viewer Error 240

Mar 8, 2013 1:13AM PST

Getting literally 1000's of these errors in 2 forms under Applications and service logs, Microsoft, Windows, Application Resource Management System and Apps. This is causing quite a hit in performance. Have tried the following without success: sfc,scannow, chkdsk, Refresh. Factory Restore using a fresh download of Windows 8.

Clarification Request

You're supplying events, logs but not telling what made you look there.

Tell the forum about the machine, make, model, what the maker is telling you along with how to re-create such as:
"I open the web site jimmyjimmy and play the video and my machine reboots."
"So I'm looking at the event viewer and see these entries."
"Question, does anyone know what I should do next?"

Since it's that new, a warranty issue it seems.

Could be as simple as a heatsink fell off but I looked and it seems this machine is well inside the warranty.

I struck-out. Been arguing with HP for the last month getting no where. First they state that ALL errors, warning are automatically repaired by the system. immediately after they happen., and two if it was a hardware problem the computer would be un-usable. Any other suggestion as to how I can solve this?

As it stands.
Apr 18, 2013 1:18PM PDT

1. I disagree with HP on the statement.
2. Don't ask me about my last HP.
3. If you restore it to the factory OS and condition, does it work or not?

First I need to correct my typo. Original operating system Windows 7 Home premium. Biggest issue in 7 was boot errors and Cap12 errors occasionally. Same basic boot errors and bushels of errors involving Windows 8 Modern Apps. This is just 1 of the many.

after asking someone to give you all the technical data for his PC, your response to his problem (repeating and numerous Error events!) is insulting, and belies a certain ignorance.

your response:
"Could be as simple as a heatsink fell off but I looked and it seems this machine is well inside the warranty.
Bob"

did you not see any of the following in the additional information he also provided:
" Having problems with Windows Apps, live tiles not working, crashing, not opening"

Makes me think you are new to the PC repair industry. I've encountered the heat sink issue too many times over the years and if a machine is well inside the warranty we want to use that for a very good reason.

To check that heat sink we would have to open it up, void the warranty and we may be asking the owner to go way outside their comfort zone.

-> Try this. If you feel you have a better answer, add it.

Problem Solved.
Sep 16, 2013 6:00AM PDT

Just bought a new HP Envy Phoenix 800-070st. and immediately upgraded to Windows 8 Pro, then to 8.1 Pro Preview. With the Upgrade to 8.1 the problem is gone so I guess Microsoft took care of it. Still have a couple of errors that I need to solve but, this computer is running circles around anything I have ever had..
