Please check Event Viewer for Warning / Error Reports in the System and
Application logs for the time of the error and post copies.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Administrative Tools, and
Event Viewer. When researching the meaning of the error, information
regarding Event ID, Source and Description are important.

Part of the Description of the error will include a link, which you should
double click for further information. You can copy using copy and paste.
Often the link will, however, say there is no further information.

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double click
on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a button
resembling two pages. Double click the button and close Event Viewer. Now
start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of the message. This
will paste the info from the Event Viewer Error Report complete with links
into the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from Event
Viewer.

Advice from Wes Vogel regarding your problem.

Event Viewer Logs Empty.

Make sure the Event Log service is set to Automatic and running.

Clear *all* Events. There may still be some data and it may be corrupted.

In Event Viewer, right click Application, Security and System one at a time
| Clear All Events | Click No to... [[Do you want to save "Application"
before clearing it?]]

How to Delete Corrupt Event Viewer Log Files

The event log stops logging events before reaching the maximum log size
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=312571

Make sure that the Overwrite Option is set...

How to Set Log Size and Overwrite Options
To specify log size and overwrite options, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel. Click Performance and
Maintenance, then click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Computer
Management. Or, open the MMC containing the Event Viewer snap-in.
2. In the console tree, expand Event Viewer, and then right-click the log in
which you want to set size and overwrite options.
3. Under Log size, type the size that you want in the Maximum log size box.
4. Under When maximum log size is reached, click the overwrite option that
you want.
5. If you want to clear the log contents, click Clear Log.
6. Click OK.
