Hi,

Thank you for posting.

This issue can occur if you system partition is full or the event log files
on the computer is corrupt.
Please try the following steps to check the issue on the computer:
1. Delete temporary files on the system boot partition.
Uninstall some applications and reinstall them to another partition to free
more disk space on the system boot partition.

2.
a. Click "start" => click "run" => enter "services.msc"
b. Set the start type of "Event log" to disabled.
c. Restart the computer. Move the event files (SysEvent.evt, AppEvent.evt
and SecEvent.evt to another drive). They are located in the
C:\winnt\system32\config)
d. Chage the f "Event log" to automatically again and restart computer and
check how things go.

3. If the issue persists, please take a look at the following URL to move
the event log files to another drive:
