Event ID 51- could this be v serious?!

Hey all,
My home pc has been crashing/stalling quite a lot recently (read 2-3 times an evening in the last few days)
I was going through the motions- Spyware scan with Lavasoft Ad-Aware and Spyboy S&D, was then going to do a trend micro online virus scan etc...
However, the pc keeps locking up quite a bit- so completing these tasks was tricky (and did not occur lol)
I DID manage to get to event viewer and look at the errors/warnings, one caught my eye that worried me:
"An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk6\D during a paging operation."
The thing with this is that- Harddisk6\D... what could that be?!! I have 2 hdd's one is drive C: and the other drive F:
(Also when being more rational- i managed to look again and see the same warning has come up since 18th July, and quite a bit in August- so is perhaps not such a concern?!)
In response to this and the poor performance of the pc i resorted to Knoppix and a 40gb usb drive- wacked some stuff on there to backup what I considered to be some vital stuff
So...... Is Event ID 51 serious?!
If it is not, whats the best way to diagnose the crashing/freezing on the pc to try and stop it! (I had process explorer open and cpu was @ 100% quite a bit- but svchost.exe was the only thing really kaining resources- everything else was minimal at that point)
