NT AUTHORITY SYSTEM

**Pax Thien** · 14-09-2005

I am having a pretty old computer running with Windows 2000 professional. Since last couple of days something has went wrong with this. I keep on getting an error message saying “NT AUTHORITY SYSTEM” and after few seconds of this pop up my computer gets shut down, no matter whatever I am doing.

Somebody suggested me to apply sasser virus patch. I did the same and problem went away, but only for 2 days. Today morning again I got the same thing started.

Is there any permanent solution for this? Also what is creating this problem? Many thanks.

Hey buddy, seems like you are not alone. Even am facing the same problem but in my case it gives a pop up warning saying I have 60 seconds to save my work with error code “C:\\WINNT\system32\services.exe is unexpectedly stopped with status code 128.”

So far I wasted hours on finding solution on web but nothing worked. Somebody please helps us out. Thank you.

Thank you for your reply troy but I had mentioned the exact error I received. It is :
