Have a look here:

On old hardware, running an obsolete, insecure OS such as Windows 7 with older software, it's bound to be chock-full.
But, unless you're having specific issues and have significant hands-on computer expertise, it's probably best not to spend excessive time digging around in it, as you could end up breaking something.

As stated...if you don't have a problem, then there is no need to ever look at Event Viewer. If you have a problem with your system, then you probably need to initiate a topic in the appropriate BC forum...and provide pertinent data which may be requested by those trying to provide insight/understanding.

Will drop this in here. Someone please get him on Linux.
Yes I probably need a new computer of some kind, but you don't just pay for it and take it home, you have to learn windows 10 or better. Other options might be linux (a dummies version). Q. How do I get my files transferred over to linux and will they still work ? I'm not a programmer so the cyber world is confusing to me.
See videos on Linux Mint Cinnamon : https://www.google.com/search?q=Linux+Mint+Cinnamon&client=firefox-b-d&sca_esv=586895506&tbm=vid&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjnga2G4u2CAxWpJjQIHZ5ICBQQ_AUoAnoECAIQBA&biw=1920&bih=872
Though someone needs to see if your eMachine will handle it. From your Stats that you made the comment on of " This is all you get." from Audo question : 
Please see this URL for HELP regarding Computers in your State : https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=Colorado+Seniors+free+computers
Amend the search words for your location.
If you continue with your issues and saying things like :
I wish they still made Zyklon B.
