[QUOTE="Cain, post: 152010, member: 16113"] Hey guys, Happy new year!! ...Sorry for the delay, I have had a bit of a time away. TwinHeadedEagle, thank you for taking the time look into this with me, I appreciate your time. I have attached the Gmer.txt file as requested for your analysis. A bit further on my situation... I have purchased my hardware for a new machine, and after a fair bit of asking questions and looking around online, I have finally gotten a TPM to plugin onto my new motherboard.
