Hello forum I've been encountering an error message this one : "Windows must now restart because the Plug and Play service terminated unexpectedly."

Every 30mins to 1 hour give or take. I first thought this was a virus or what not but I've done a FRESH Windows 7 64-bit install also formatted my hard drive.

I've been dealing with this for 3 days now...If anyone could help me with this issue I'd be GREATLY thankful!

The only Errors I see on here in the past hour are
Event ID - 10 - WMI - Application
Event ID - 1002 - Application Hang - Application
Event ID - 7023 - Service Control Manager - System

Also to give an update on the issue it was about 4-5 hours ago I didn't get the Plug and Play error I got an error that said DCOM Launcher Service has terminated unexpectedly, the system needs to restart. Since then it hasn't happened again. I did a BIOS update, and tried to check for windows updates. :S
