Boggin:
Now that you are back to the yellow alert on Pseudo-Interface, create a restore point and try the instructions for its reinstall.

If that works, create another restore point to consolidate that then go Start - type msconfig and press enter.

Under the Startup tab note which boxes are checked and items running then click on Disable all -Apply - OK - then reboot to see if the computer performs any better.

If your AV program is listed in the Startup items it will reinstate itself.

If the computer no longer locks up then add one Startup item back at a time until it starts playing up again and then leave that one unchecked.

If it continues to play up with all of the Startup items disabled then under the Services tab check the box to Hide all MS services.

It is imperative that you do this before disabling the remainder otherwise you'll have serious problems.

Again, check to see what is checked and shows as Running or Stopped before disabling all.

If this gives the desired result then add the items back either singly or a few at a time, rebooting and running for a period to see if it remains stable.

If you add a few back at a time and the problem reoccurs then you will need to vet those.

What were you doing last time when the freeze occurred ? - repeating this after adding items back could replicate the freeze if any are responsible.

Hi Boggin, the yellow alert is no longer showing after making a correction in the registry. Also I have been checking the error about the boot driver and I can't find anything definitive on that exact driver "yyfeapq" I am pretty sure it is for one of my Brother or HP printers.

It is booting up properly now. I am going to try it for a while like this and see if I have any issues.

Boggin:
See if DriverView lists that and then you'll be able to ID its origin. http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/driverview.html

I think you can set it to hide MS drivers so that will make the search easier.

If your printer(s) aren't switched on before you switch the computer on, then it will initially try to load it.

I have an Epson printer that has a card reader which Windows has assigned as Z: Drive and it usually pops up to tell me that it unable to load all drives when it has finished booting.

Hey Boggin I think my laptop has even more issues than I think. I have been going back in the event viewer and seeing many errors not just for boot up but others. I have attached a log that you can view (hopefully) I don't want to keep wasting your time. I think maybe I should do a factory reset???
