Hi Gang,
Got lottsa' problems - woe is me ...
I powered up my computer yesterday, with Windows 2000 Professional,
and it got through the boot process to the point that it put up my
wallpaper and placed my icons on the desktop.
Then, it spontaneously rebooted.
I went through the boot process again, got to the same point,
and it spontaneously rebooted again. I went ‘round and ‘round
a few more times before I decided to perform disaster recovery.
So, I placed a new hard drive in the machine, partitioned and
formatted it (Partition Magic - I highly recommend it),
performed disaster recovery to hard drive #2 (the other hard drive
is still as it was yesterday), rebooted (cold), and, after the
Windows 2000 Pro logo, and before I got to the login window
(where it asks for my password), I got the following error:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
LSASS.EXE - Application Error
X The application failed to initialize properly (0xc000007b).
Click on OK to terminate the application.
OK
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
So I click on "OK", and I get another display:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The system process c:\WINNT\system32\LSASS.EXE terminated
unexpectedly with status code 128. The system is shutting down.
This shutdown was initiated by \.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
... and, after a 60-second countdown, it shuts down.
Well, this is a fine mess ...
I've managed to get online with an old computer to post this.
So ...
#1: Any idea as to why hard drive #1 is spontaneously rebooting?
I can slip it into another computer and access it as a secondary
data drive (all of my hard drives are in removable cartridges).
I can install Windows 2000 Pro on hard drive #2, and it doesn't do
this. I can boot hard drive #1 in safe mode, but I don't know what
to do with it once I do. It would seem that one of the applications
on startup is causing the problem, but I don't know how to access
those apps - how to disable them.
(BTW: does anyone know of any good books on how to troubleshoot
Windows 2000? ... With references to whatever tools that might
be useful?)
#2: Any idea as to why the app LSASS.EXE is not getting initialized
properly? ... and what I need to do to get it to do so? I don't
understand why I'm having this problem - the system was working fine
when I made the backup.
#3: Do you think I should just give up, go hang myself and call it a life?
It would put an end to a lot of my miseries.
My system board is an Albatron KX400-8XV, with an
AMD Athlon 2200, 512MB RAM, with an 80GB Maxtor.
Thanks,
