error message at each startup, random restarts, help please

For the past month, each time I restart, I get an error message "The system has just recovered from a serious error." Sometimes I get two or three such messages in succession.

Also, the computer randomly restarts.

I tried sending the error report to Microsoft, and once it gave me the report that the problem was because of the RAM. So I took the RAM cards out, dusted off the connection points and put them back in. But again, I get the same error. This time the error page says that the problem was caused by a Device Driver.

I don't understand what's wrong. Here are my minidump files:

Please please help me - I'm getting desperate.

4 of your minidumps are corrupt and unreadable.

1 minidump crashes at win32k.sys.

This is probably a symptom of faulty hardware, with ram being the most likely culprit.

Go and read this thread HERE (http://www.techspot.com/vb/topic51365.html) and test your ram etc.

Thanks.

That Memtest sounds really complicated, and I'm not a computer person at all. I'll try everything else given on that thread though.

What's win32k.sys?

File Name: Win32k.sys
File Size: 1.796.864
File Version: 5.1.2600.1275 (xpsp2.030825-2117)
File Company: Microsoft Corporation
File Description: Multi-User Win32 Driver
File Type: Windows NT/2000/XP Driver.

The above driver is seldom the actual culprit.

Memtest86+ is fairly easy to run, just read the tutorial that`s linked in the thread I asked you to read. It`s very important for you to test your ram.

Regards Howard :)

I got the problem fixed :)

Somebody had a look at it, and said there were too many files in the Temporary Windows folder, and just deleted all of them.
