Thank you...

An interesting thing about GMER... it wanted to unclick all non-system partitions and drives... is it possible that the problem can hide in a non-system partition or drive? Just wanted to validate that.

I know the ultimate last resort down the line is to format the drive, but I was wondering if it came down to that, would formatting the system partition be enough? Any thoughts?

I will provide the logs tonight when I get home from work...

Thanks again!
