A couple random restarts, Event ID 1003, minidumps included

[j-rad]

Recently my computer randomly restarted, and it's happened about 5 times in a couple weeks period. It's never done this before, and I formatted about 2 months ago so it's fairly new.

When it restarts, I check the Event Viewer and I get the same Event ID 1003 message:

I zipped the 5 minidump files that are in the Minidump folder, so hopefully there are enough to tell what's going on.

I also noticed (by having task manager open) that everytime I open a folder/firefox/etc.. the CPU Usage jumps to around 40-50%, then back down. The PF Usage is always steady.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi,

All of your minidumps are crashed at win32k.sys and it is windows graphical driver.

Sugestion
1) Your windows is 4 years behind. Upgrade your windows to latest patch
2) Run memtest to stress test the ram
3) Run 3DMark 2005 to test your video card

I did the following and it's still randomly restarting:

1. Cleaned out all dust from the case
2. Ran memtest86 - no errors
3. Ran 3DMark 05 - got 1389
4. Got all windows updates

Could it be something with the install? Guess I will just format and reinstall XP.

Any other possible ideas? Included are more recent minidumps, let me know if anyone has an idea. Thanks.

Just flashed my BIOS, and I'm reinstalling XP in a second. Still looking for any suggestions.
