I need anybody, who know how to identify an error, and how to fix it. I don't looks to serious although, but it is annoying as well.

Yesterday, when i shut down my computer everything was okay with it. Today, i power it on, everything looks okay, nothing is problem, but the windows tell me the System recovered from a serious error. I (tried) to click "okay" or something like that, but nothing happened.

It seemed my computer didn't response for left-click, or using the mouse wheel. It only worked with right-click which didn't work (as far as i know).

Okay, i said, it must be a hardware error, and tried with another mouse. It was the same. Then i knew, it must be a system complication. The error message also said, that this error is in the event log, so i took a look at the event look, and viola, i found it.

I found it as error, not something else.
The error looks like the following:

System Error
Error code: 000000ea
Category: 102
Event log ID: 1003
Parameter 1.: 89d204e0
Parameter 2.: 8a651ec8
Parameter 3.: 8a4b74e0
Parameter 4.: 00000001

That is all.
Just to don't have any misunderstandings, the computer has no viruses, i didn't use internet on it (only my brother, a few minutes), last days.
It didn't be hacked, or something else.

I think this is a spontaneous error, maybe from bad booting of the Windows.
I hope a computer genius around here can help.

Thank you so much!! :)
 
I looked up the error code. It means
Error code 000000ea = "THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER" - A device driver is spinning in an infinite loop, most likely waiting for hardware to become idle. This usually indicates problem with the hardware itself, or with the device driver programming the hardware incorrectly. In many cases this is the result of a bad video card or a bad display driver.

I dont know if you have USB or Ps/2 mouse but did you try the other?

EDIT: I forgot to mention that. Its usually a blue screen. However if the blue screens are set to auto-reboot (which I think is the default) you wouldn't see anything except maybe a flash of blue and then it reboots. Ive seen blue screens on bootup.
 
Well, actually i searched for that, and nope, that wasn't the problem.

Anyway, the mouse was exactly the problem. It was really old (a couple years old, maybe 5-6-7 years?), and it seems, the left-click mechanism, well, it was wrong. So, it wasn't the computers problem, it was the hardware. The strange thing is, that i heard, the event log shows it when it is a hardware problem. Maybe my computer couldn't analyze that.
Anyway thanks for helping. :)
 
Eh, I just recently got a new mouse because my old one actually wouldn't click too good anymore.
 
I was about to say that perhaps the left mouse button might have gotten worn out. I've had that happened with my older mouses where I had to SLAM on the mouse button to get it to work.
 
Sometimes they just have so much dust inside them that they won't click correctly.
