Event IDs 15 and 16 Happening Now and Then On Windows 8

**** FULL DISCLOSURE ****  (I also posted this on this DM Eight Forums)

Refer to this link, which gives and indication of what I experience now and then in the Event Viewer. Only the first two events are what I get:
Event 16, Kernel-General

Now it's important to note that I have had no Event 18 show up in Event Viewer, nor have I had sudden reboots. In fact, everything runs fine and seems normal. The last time when this appeared was when I looged out of my workstation, and back in again within a few minutes. I did not restart my system. I only received the first two events for amcache.hve and the reorganization of NTUSER.DAT.

Could there be any reason OTHER THAN a hardware failure, that causes this message to appear? Thanks for all of your help.
:)

As it seems to be hardware related, you better check your memory and mass storage devices.

Also if you haven't done it, disable fast boot, it is a potential source of troubles.

Good luck

I don't have fast boot enabled (I assume your talking in Windows 8, and not the BIOS)

Mine is not an EFI system by the way..  I actually ran a chkdsk /r with the installation DVD-ROM, and it did find bad sectors.  It relocated the clusters and marked them as bad.

Yes, you are right.

This is a good candidate to cause the issue.

But I suggest you also check your RAM just to eliminate another potential cause.

You can use MemTest86: https://www.memtest86.com/
