Greetings everyone,
I too was having this problem, and it seemed to be totally random, but in fact, it
is not.
I am using a Asus a7v333 board
AMD xp 2400+ CPU
1 gig of ddr memory
128mb geforce 4 ti4200 agp card.
etc.
Ever since i built this machine up, I have had that problem with win32k.sys
It is a heat related problem, and here is how i know.
I noticed that whenever i watched mpg's it would crash, if i played games it crashed,
or if i was looking or working on pictures it crashed.
and it crashed less at night cause i normally have windows open at night, so room
was cooler.
I installed a program called CPU cooler, got it from the fosi site: http://fosi.da.ru
Since that helps cool the processor down, i noticed the crashes were less frequent.
Then I stripped my machine down, and fitted a case fan, and move my sound card two
slots away from my vid card, so the fan on vid card had plenty of room to do it's
work, now at that point, the crashes got very rare, but still happened.
So, I thought, what else could be wrong? and decided to buy a copper cooler which
fits on top of cpu, bloody big thing it is, you can see what it is from this link.

I fitted that, and now i have been downloading from mirc while playing diablo2 expansion
online, watching vids etc, and so far not one crash.
And I am running winxp professional with all updates on.
So I can honestly say, it is a heat related problem, and i can seriously recommend
that copper cooler, my machine is seriously cool now.
You can download cpu cooler from this link.

Hope that helps you all, and a big thank you to everyone who has posted to this subject.
All the best
