Hi Tim,
PMON is stating here LGWR has died unexpectedly. LGWR is the (redo) log writer, one of the most vital processes in an Oracle database. Following the PMON trace file there should be a file D:\ORANT\RDBMS73\TRACE\ORCLLGWR.TRC, which should provide more detail. Without that it is impossible to tell what happened.
