Could you run the built-in System File Checker please?
Start Orb->All Programs->Accessories->Command Prompt (right click and choose run as administrator)
type
sfc /scannow
See what that produces if anything.

OK, it is even doing this in Safe Mode...!!!
Anyone think it may be a RAM issue?
I've run the memory diagnostic tool twice now and the laptop just displays a black screen and does not restart until I press the physical on/off button.
Thanks
I would expect more and even different issues if it was memory. Maybe even a BSOD or two to go by. But;
For your peace of mind if you would like to test the memory, independent of the Operating system.
Download Memtest86+ from this location here. Burn the ISO to a CD and boot the computer from the CD.
Ideally let it run for at least 7 passes / 6-8 hours. If errors appear before that you can stop that particular test. Any time Memtest86+ reports errors, it can be either bad RAM or a bad Mobo slot. Perform the test RAM sticks individually as well as all possible combinations. When you find a good one then test it in all slots. Post back with the results.
See this Guide to using Memtest 86+
I ran the command prompt and:
Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them.
Details are included in the CBS log.
What am I looking for in the CBS log? I've noticed the dates at the top start on 6/1/11 and finish at the end of the scan 20 mins ago.
There is a member on here that has a particular skill at reading, interpreting and deciphering those CBS Log entries. I'll see if I can get his attention and see if he would be willing to have a look. He'll likely need to see a sampling of the last few days or so which you can probably copy and paste into notepad and attach to your next post. But perhaps I'll let Saltgrass make a recommendation as to how to proceed regarding those log files.
Checking the results is fairly easy using the following reference. After you run the findstr command, you can attach the text file directly or zip it and attach. Since the SFC entries are repeated for each run of SFC, if you have run it several times, try to remove the duplicated entries prior to posting, by probably date and time.
How to use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files on Windows Vista or on Windows 7
The final result will be a list of one or more system files that can not be replaced because of some error between two or more copies of the file. You will need a copy of the specified files to replace the original ones and the reference tells you how to replace. We can talk about that after we see how many you show as corrupted.
If you can't get the required text file for some reason, just copy the CBS.log to the desktop and zip and attach. It is too large to just attach. But the SFC runs and at or near the end there will be a list of files that cannot be repaired, and the link shows the context of the log entries.
If you are already having system corruption, memory or something else might be messing you up and you probably need to backup whatever you can.
The event viewer error you posted was not much help. Maybe look for anything else that seems to occur often. If you can't find anything, it may not be reported.
You should also have a message in the Action Center. Does it give any guidance?
I think you have to uninstall Asus Webstorage program.
Workt on my laptop.
Hope for you to
Oh my goodness. I just created an account on this forum just to thank you for posting this. I've been having the scrolling problem in Windows Explorer for months and just couldn't find a fix. So I had actually 'resigned to my fate'. Decided to try this out for the sake of it and voila, it worked! Thanks SO much for this! :D
