Hi fesheng,- When exactly do you get this error message? Is it while starting the computer or while using any application?- Why exactly did you restore the computer? What was the changes that was made to the computer due to which you had to restore? Try placing your system in Clean boot state to identify the application causing this issue. Putting your system in clean boot state helps in identifying if any third party applications or startup items are causing the issue. If yes, you may have to contact the program manufacturer for any updates or uninstall and re-install the program.
