Crash & Errors - System Unstable

[smartin22]

Hello,

Using WinXP, I had a sudden crash and system has been unstable since. Event log shows repeatedly occur error, when system crashes, which is now about every 30 minutes or so.

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Application Error
Event Category: (100)
Event ID: 1000
Date: 6/11/2007
Time: 3:36:04 AM
User: N/A
Computer: LIMERICK
Description:
Faulting application svchost.exe, version 5.1.2600.2180, faulting module wuaueng.dll, version 5.8.0.2469, fault address 0x0007cb9a.

When system restarts, I also have an error:

Generic Host Process for Win32 Services has encoutered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience

Actions taken:
1. Udated NAV, updated Windows Defener, and Spybot. Ran all 3, no affect.
2. Attempted system restore to June 8, but failed.
3. Reviewed MS Knowledgebase & google--no compelling info.
4. Ran SFC /Scannow. Restarted system & will monitor.

Comments/suggestions would be appreciated. Thx!
