I had this perfectly working pc since long time till few weeks back display started crashing. Now i am unable to play any games that i hav been enjoying flawlessly. Dont no what caused this abrupt problem. I tried overclocking, underclocking, driver reinstall, windows reinstall, hardware cleaning & display still crashes even during windows assessment! Videos and rest is fine bt as soon as i start a game, poof!!! screen freezes at single color with fine lines.
Also after fresh install i lost an entire hdd. I created a half TB partition in my previous windows which is now not showing at my computer but is working fine in devices & boot menu!!!!! Help........ & the partituion has got stufff.. I really want my pc back. Thanks for any help in advance.
Also the disk partition is in Disk Management tool as system,active,primary partition whereas rest except the windows drive are just primary partirions.
All are healthy but the volume is not showing in My computer....

Events cannot be delivered through this filter until the problem is corrected.

Tried the windows assessment for computer rating twice & got the similar results.
it just runs for a few seconds & screen freezes to any random single color. After few seconds either display goes off or windows restarts or shut down.
Also went through all device drivers hidden too, no trouble there. Also the pc is working fine in all cases until i stress it out with a game or windows assessment. Haven't tried video conversion yet.... also tried Creo Parametric 2.0 & no problem, not so straining software though.

Read his to fix your 4th Error - http://www.sevenforums.com/drivers/268212-driver-driver-wudfrd-failed-load-device-error-2.html - also, you could just remove any USB devices at boot and you wont see this - its the Driver for your Transcend 16GB USD stick that's not loading.
Error 1 and 2 are because you force shutdown the system (likely by pressing reset or holding down the power button)
Error 3 just means your system cannot handle the amount of Event and Security Logs being reported - reduce the number of events the logger needs to record - i.e. log only critical and ignore basic errors
Error 5 - look here to fix it - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2545227/en-gb - its not an issue, just ignore it

Ok, so nothing in the error logs - I'm leaning toward GPU issue...

Have you updated the GFX drivers recently? if so, try rolling them back to the previous version. Also, don't install Microsoft Drivers, install your Card Manufacturer Drivers only.
I know you said you cleaned the Hardware, but did you really clean it, or just kinda clean it? :)

How dirty is your GFX card? Maybe time to take it out, remove the fans and heatsink from the PCB and give it a thorough clean out. Clean the GPU and Reapply a good quality thermal paste (see guides on the Toms Forum Homepage).
For good measure, do the same with the CPU and CPU Cooler
Next, remove the PSU, remove the shroud and fan and clean the dust bunnies out (don't touch the big Capacitors unless you like being electrocuted) - clean the PSU fan as well.
Remove the RAM, clean any dust out, and re seat. Disconnect, check, clean and reconnect peripherals and any other cards.
Check HDD leads are nice and snug and connected properly

You mentioned your PC was working for a long time - overtime things can work loose, dust gets into it, sometimes a good through clean gets the ghost out of the machine.

Wouldn't hurt to replace your HDD's if they are a few years old - at least ensure you are backing up anything important onto a drive that is not connected to your PC.

HDDs are well & good since it doesn't have any indicators like destructive read-write speed. Actually one of them is yet to have it's 1st B'day. I am quite dead sure of the HDDs being good.
Cleaning was thorough weeks back when the problem had just surfaced, still i will give it one more try. Thanx for your help king.
Also why I say it's Graphics Card coz it's fan speed increases in such cases. Actually when fan speed increases, I get the feeling of avalanche & FREEZEEEEEEE...... But sometimes while playing W.Dogs, S.Row IV etc. it bypassed the avalanche & then worked flawlessly.
I also seriously doubt any regular flaw like heating or something. Also I have tried OCing & UCing as mentioned so this is somewhat typical failure. It's like the card passes a certain fracture point whenever a heavy software is started & generally breaks, but if survives the hike then it goes fine but it's rare case.
If the cleaning doesn't works then service....
Tried cleaning & changing PCI e slot. none helped, again sometimes bypasses the error or mostly crashes. Anything beside EVENT VIEWER that could really point out the problem coz this is killing me....

Also could it be CPU coz. I just played Saints Row IV for 3 seconds & poof the display is grey lines. Sound is fine & keyboard is working but controls in game aren't (Num Lock is fine; game sounds not changing on keypress & task manager not opening).
Why is it only while gaming & never ever???? & also why isn't anyone helping??? All I am typing this from my desktop; its working flawless now!!!!
Any software better than event viewer might help....
