Hi PicsoeI did some research on this event and it appears to be one of those 'non-event' events?The 'Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-EventTracing' appears to run each time the system is started along with the associated 'Circular Kernel Context Logger'. These components are part of the Performance Diagnostics.The '0xC0000035' error code returns as'STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_COLLISION'. This error code has been associated with a duplicate domain security identifier (SID)being detected,also as'the event logger is full' with Session "Circular Kernel Context Logger" failed to start.There are many threads that refer to this eventand associate it with many different behaviors, but i think these are redundant since the users were just looking forthe causefora problem thatdid not actuallyhave anything to dowith this event.For now I would recommend that you monitor how often this event is recorded, but otherwise simply ignore it. It will likely disappear at some point.Hope this helps.Thank You for testing Windows 7 Ronnie Vernon MVP

Hi,I have a clean install of Windows 7 downloaded from MSDN. This is running stand alone as a media centre PC. It is not a member of a domain. I appear to get the error message Session "Circular Kernel Context Logger" failed to start with the following error: 0xC0000035Repeated ~1second. It appears to start when the computer resumes from standby and then continues. The system appears to be brought out of standby by an attempt to access something at Microsoft and I receive a warning Name resolution for the name dns.msftncsi.com timed out after none of the configured DNS servers responded.After this the kernel error starts to appear.There is clearly something wrong. Advice would be appreciated. Paul Ireland

Exactly the same here.It goes on and on, up to 3 times per second.Regards Picsoe

Hi, I had the same trouble with Windows 7 (the RTM version). The Kernel context logger is a bit like a flight data recorder and takes snapshots of the system (I think every second) into a 100MB RAM file (not a log file on disk). It is needed. I found the fix: Rename this file: %windir%\panther\setup.etl to setup.old and reboot. Worked for me. To prove this, delete the logs in event viewer and keep an eye out for any recurrence. Can't tell you why it was broken in the first place, though! Regards, RichardVet

Seems I only and always get this error when I do a logoff/logon (same user, I'm only one on my system). Doesn't happen on normal boots/reboots.

I've been away for months, but I can see that the event viewer filter on our brand new Windows 7 has not made much progress in the event 35 series [processor drivers not seen as installed or running by Windows] and I can see a new thread after I installed Microsoft Security Essentials that the scanner will stop unexpectedly due to this filter not being solved? Error code 3221225458 ? In answer to your question, NO nothing is wrong with either your computer or your software and I think not you either, but you may want to check with a professional just in case?
