Default Weird computer problem...

From time to time, I get this weird computer problem. This usually happens every now and then when I go to turn off my computer, but once or twice it happened upon start-up. The screen instantly turns blue with MS-DOS print, and it says something about "BAD PHYSICAL DUMP" or something like that, and there's about 5 or so paragraphs of text explaining what it tried to do and what went wrong or something like that, and then that it's trying to restore it or something (I'll write what it says exactly next time it happens). However, the keyboard or mouse does not work during this. If it happens when turning off the computer, I have to unplug it from the back to turn it off, but if it happens during start-up, I can turn it off by pressing the power button, and in both cases, nothing is ever altered or erased or anything, if anything, it's just a minor inconvenience to me. Any guesses as to what this may be (until I write up exactly what it says)?
