Hello,

I followed the procedure below, and Stinger did not find any viruses on the
server. But the same problem occurs. The server keeps rebooting, after
showing the error message:

"Shutdown initiated by NT AUTHORITY SYSTEM
c:\windows\system32\services.exe (or sometimes it says lsass.exe) terminated
unexpectedly"

I guess it is time to reinstall Windows Server 2003??
