For the past 3 weeks, my computer keeps hanging and restarting of its own at random intervals. The computer was performing well until the 3rd of march, when I bought a BENQ DW 1650 DVD Writer. I replaced it with my old LG CD writer. It installed perfectly well, it was a simple plug and play device. When I restarted the computer after a few hours, after startup the system suddenly hanged. This had never happened for the past 2.5 yrs when I have been using this computer. On a cold restart, I got the error message [might not be 100% accurate as I hadn’t noted it down but I am trying to recall “Your computer has recovered from a serious error. A direct draw function could not be performed by the graphics card.” In the event log, I got this”……
 
Error code 000000ea, parameter1 817538e8, parameter2 81742a88, parameter3 818a01d8, parameter4 00000001.

I received a third such error on 20th March 2006
 
Today, on 22nd March, I received a similar error…..during this time, I was burning a DVD……
Error code 0000000a, parameter1 00000166, parameter2 00000002, parameter3 00000000, parameter4 804f48a3.
 
I have also noticed that sometimes the computer hangs of its own [does not restart and is not involved with any 1003 error] Instead I get this error
The IPSEC Services service terminated with the following error:
An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions.
Source: Service control manager
Event ID 7023
Category None
 
This error is even more frequent, I get it almost every two days, the computer hangs while downloading stuff from the net. This error has started occuring after i installed the DSL connection.
 
Apart from that, the computer functions absolutely normally while playing games, movies, etc………
 
Can someone guide me, to fix this problem without formatting my computer? I am pretty desperate
 
Regards,
 
P.S. -> is there anyway to attach my minidumps here?
