Pxhelp20.sys is a driver used by the HP (Veritas) burning software. You
might be able to remove the software in safe mode, then try reinstalling it.
If all else fails you could rename the driver to put it out of commission
until you sort it out. You should be able to find it in the
system32\drivers folder.

Have a look at this thread:

It may shed some light on the situation.
