WMI error, please help!

Hello all, I have vista 64 bit SP1. Here are my system specs.

-EVGA nVidia nForce 790i Ultra SLI MB LGA 775
-Intel LGA 775 Wolfdale 3.0 GHz E8400 CPU 65W 45nm dual core

-Silverstone DA800 Decathalon series 800W PSU ATX12v2.2 EPS12v

-Sony NEC Optiarc IDE ODD combo drive
-HP LightScribe SATA ODD drive
-Samsung internal floppy drive
-Vista Ultimate x64
-Sunbeam Transformer full ATX case

Im getting a error 10 in the even log viewer. At any random time, whether at idle, start up, playing a game, or what ever, the system completely freezes and cannot do anything at all, nothing responds or works and a hard shut down is required. This is quite annoying. I bought vista ultimate with SP1 pre-loaded on the disc. Here is what the event log shows me

Event filter with query "SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent WITHIN 60 WHERE TargetInstance ISA "Win32_Processor" AND TargetInstance.LoadPercentage > 99" could not be reactivated in namespace "//./root/CIMV2" because of error 0x80041003. Events cannot be delivered through this filter until the problem is corrected.

And the XML

Im honestly baffled. This is so weird, all drivers and BIOS and everything is up tp date on the rig and it does this. I have no idea what to do, in wmimgmt.msc I made sure my user account had correct permissions in the CIMV2 root, but they were already all there. Please help!

edit: I pass mem tests and CHKDSKS as well, so Im ok there.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Bump, windows has been reinstalled and the problem is still here!

Thanks for your help guys, I fixed it by deleting the C:\Windows\System32\Wbem\Repository files in safe mode. I tried running that script in the microsoft article but it didnt work. I tried calling microsoft, and they said since I bought the OEM version of windows (what else is there to buy on newegg??) that advanced support would be $59.99 even for the email/chat/phone which is absolutely ridiculous.

I found this info on msoft technet:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950375

Error is permissions related, and seems a common error since W2K. W2K and XP
have hotfixes. The *workaround* in the article for Vista is to disable the
event 10 notification!
From what I glean, wmi is enterprise related in terms of what it does. I
have had this error since day 1 (vista pre-installed on dell 1420) and
everything is seemingly working fine. I am not concerned about it since I
have home PC, not part of enterprise; no remote pc management stuff. How it
affects you may be different (duh).

If the link given by TK does not help, here a link to MS Help & Support
exclusively for SP1 issues. It has e-mail support, chat support and
phone support. It's all free. Don't let the wordings of the link stop
you. It's the right link.

I get the error you mentioned in the Event Log at every boot up, but it
doesn't cause my PC to crash/lock up.

Hi,

I was getting the same error, When trying to boot protocols like IMAP or NNTP, I tried to resolve it by solution mentioned here - http://forums.techarena.in/operating...tm#post4378911
