Venue 11 Pro 7140 Event ID 256 DPTF

Event Viewer shows this error over and over: Intel Dynamic Platform and Thermal Framework: ESIF(8.0.10002.14) TYPE:ERROR DPTF Build Version 8.0.10002.14 DPTF Build Date Jun 10 2014 12:43:14 Source File: ..\..\..\..\Sources\PolicyLib\PolicyBase.cpp @ line 553 Executing Function: PolicyBase::takeControlOfOsc Message: Failed to acquire OSC Policy: [1] Any solutions?  Can't find any help anywhere!

Haven't seen or heard of this before.   Assume this is a new system?   Any problems occurring other than above or as a result of error?    Does it continue to happen again and again after cleared?    

Thanks for responding.....Service Tag:  purchased 12-01-2014

Error occurs twice on each boot without fail.

Uninstalled/reinstalled Intel Dynamic Platform & Thermal Framework Driver...no change.
