    It seems that my F9 restore option from startup is missing. How do I use the recovery partition to recover to a factory state? I am completely lost on this one. Any help is greatly appreciated. I burned recovery disc but all they are actually for is restoring the recovery partition only and not actual recovery. Someone said something about ImageX but I am unfamiliar with how this works. BTW I have an Asus G53JW-A1.

    So I cloned the drive last night and put in a different hard drive and still have the exact same issue. Today when it locked I was on Itunes listing to music and downloading updated apps. I have no idea when it locks what I am doing. I just know today I was only using Itunes. Anyone else having lockups without BSOD just system freezes? Its strange, I cant recall ever having just a lockup.

    Event Log info:

    SharedAccess_NAT - The DNS proxy agent was unable to allocate 0 bytes of memory. This may indicate that the system is low on virtual memory, or that the memory manager has encountered an internal error. (I am getting this error several times)

    LMS - LMS Service cannot connect to Intel(R) MEI driver

    SidebySide - Activation context generation failed for "C:\Program Files (x86)\Real\RealPlayer\plugins\rmxrend.dll". Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC90.DebugCRT,processorArchitecture="x86",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",type="win32",version="9.0.21022.8" could not be found. Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis.

    Any ideas?
