Well I uninstalled and reinstalled my video card drivers, and nothing bad has happened YET, but I'm still not sure it's fixed. I'm hoping I'm just being paranoid. On a related note. here is the error I get in the event viewer Error code 000000c2, parameter1 00000007, parameter2 00000cd4, parameter3 02060001, parameter4 86d4e868. maybe someone will recognize it.

System restore isn't an issue anymore, It seems I needed to go back to on of the points I created on the 17th. I went back and things seem to be working properly. I THINK it had to do with a fautly video driver installation. But I'm still not entirely confident that's the case.

I realize that, but this only started a few days ago, and I figured if I restored to another time, it might fix it

not a clue, it just started a few weeks back. I finally got rid of it about a week and a half ago. And in response to your solution, I would much rather find an alternate solution. Reformatting solves many problems, but it won't help me specify what's wrong with my system if this happens in the future.

Morning all, I recently developed an irritating problem pertaining to my computer rebooting essentially at random and after each reboot I get the error message and these two files are the ones accused of causing the problem C:\DOCUME~1\DICKJU~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER10ea.dir00\Mini012607-01.dmp C:\DOCUME~1\DICKJU~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER10ea.dir00\sysdata.xml I'm not sure what these files are related to, and any attempt at using a system restore to a time when this wasn't happening has failed consistently. I'm not sure if this is a hardware or software problem. I've seen the second file (sysdat) involved with many issues with hardware so I'm going out on a limb. It's worth noting that I recently removed a rather pesky virus from my computer that afflicted it for a few weeks. It affected my keyboard and mouse by making them act weird (single-click would highlight all the icons on the desktop, capslock needed to be on to type lowercase, etc). I can't remember the name, but it took Nod32 a few hours to find it on it's most intensive scan in safe mode, and I believe it said it was a variant of the Win32 exploit trojan. Thank you for your help, please feel free to ask any questions you feel as relevant, and I hope to resolve this soon.
