Could be a virus. Ran a virus search at TrendMicro with
the keyword "ntoskrnl.exe" and it returned "bolzano" virus
variants with a payload similar to what you described. To
be on the sure side run TrendMicro's free online virus
scanner HouseCall found at http://housecall.antivirus.com
and let us know what you find.
