Hello,

could someone please help me with the following problem:

Whenever I go to the internet, after about 5-7 minutes, I get the following
message

The system process 'C:\\WINNT\system32\services.exe' terminated unexpectedly
with status code 128. The system will now shut down and restart.

and the computer counts down from 60 seconds and restarts.

I would like to note that if I just go to the internet for a very short
time, and then log off, nothing happens. If I do not go to the internet,
nothing happens.

I am running Win2000 Pro. I had to reinstall recently and I think I am
fairly up to date with security updates. I did not check since this started
happening, since it would take longer than just a few minutes. I did run a
full virus scan though (I have grisoft's free version AVG), I am up-to-date
there, and did not find any virus.

I tried the solution in Microsoft's KB # 318447, as well as 826955. I did
not find anything out of the ordinary.

I need help now as I really don't know what to do any more.

Thank you for any input.
