Thank you for your help! I finally decided to take advantage of the situation and installed Widows 10....

Startup Repair can't repair it. No restore point (my bad). I do have Command Prompt. Any suggestions?

I don't really know what that means.... I use this computer mostly to run audio applications (DAWs, samplers, audio editors, etc.) as a music composer, and rarely even go online with it.

Yes, it is the HPET giving the error message. When I try to update the driver, Windows tells me I already have the appropriate one. After your last post I downloaded & ran the latest chipset drivers installation file from MSI. I quadruple-checked all the specs so I'm certain it was the right...

Hi, thanks for answering. No, bios only indicates enabled/disabled for HPET. The MB, which I just put in last week, comes with disappointingly few possible user settings in the bios (& I did make sure I had the latest update). In fact, the only mention of 64 I can find is under PCI Subsystem...

Update: I found the HPET in my BIOS and saw that it was enabled. I disabled and re-enabled it, but it's still disabled in the OS. I use this computer as an audio recording studio. Sometimes, when I'm using particularly complex sound event, there are popping noises in the audio output. This...
