suspected rootkit

My windows xp sp2 computer has been crashing every couple of days during the past couple weeks. The screen blacks out suddenly and restarts. Today I checked my AVG free, which happily reported everything is clean and clear, but I checked the logs and they tell a different story. The last successful scan 2 weeks ago reports the following:

Inline hook ntoskrnl.exe _abnormal_termination+0x20B -> 0x804E2ED7

Subsequent full and rootkit scans yield no results and only report scanning a few thousand objects instead of the hundreds of thousands of objects reported in each scan prior to the one which found the inline hook.

An MBAM scan only found and deleted a temporary file (PUP.Optional.Amonetize.A).


However, besides the rare restarts, I have yet to notice any other effects, so I may be overreacting. I greatly appreciate the professional advice and thank you for your services.
