Failure Audits Help

[Guest]

My computer locks-up and restarts alot. Upon reboot I go to System Viewer and it says Failure Audit. Here is the message:

Event Type: Failure Audit
Event Source: Security
Event Category: Policy Change
Event ID: 615
Date: 6/13/2004
Time: 3:19:51 PM
User: NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE
Computer: JOEY
Description:
IPSec Services: IPSec Services failed to get the complete

list of network interfaces on the machine. This can be a potential

security hazard to the machine since some of the network interfaces

may not get the protection as desired by the applied IPSec filters.

Please run IPSec monitor snap-in to further diagnose the problem.

Can you please help with how to fix this? Thanks in Advance!!

I'm not an expert, but I do get this audit failure message from time to
time, and I noticed nobody else responded yet. It never locks up my machine
though, and I don't suffer from viruses/worms/Trojans, so I don't think this
failure is the cause of your PC restarting a lot. Realize that I'm no
expert, but I'm guessing your PC locks up and restarts for some other
reason, like maybe a virus/worm/spyware problem, or maybe hardware problems.
I do suffer from occasional crashes, which my event viewer says is a
controller problem on my D: disk. Do you have any error messages in your
System audit ? What anti-virus and anti-spyware programs do you run ?

I have been having alot of problems lately. I had 15 trojans/viruses but fixed them all, reformatted harddrive then all the these problems started. The problems are alot of STOP errors, I'm sure they are problems with the Graphics card. But, I got a recent STOP error that the problem was win32k.sys. What is this file for? I have XP home,128MB RAM,60GB HARRDRIVE,GeForce 4 TI4200 video card with Forceware 56.72 drivers installed.

Sorry I'm not an expert on what causes Stop errors, but it smells like
hardware or driver problems. Did you download the latest graphics card
drivers from the manufacturer of your GeForce card ? If you cannot get them
from the manufacturer of the graphics card, you might try downloading the
latest drivers from nVidia, who makes the GeForce4 chip set.

If you have the latest drivers, and the problem still continues, it might be
a hardware problem, but I don't know how to test hardware problems, other
than put the graphics card into a different PC in order to see if a
different PC suffers from the same Stop errors. This would not solve the
hardware problem, but it would tell you whether the problem is the graphics
card or the motherboard. Sorry I cannot offer any more help than this.

It looks like I am not the only one after all, my computer does exactly the same although I have a different graphics card. I,like yourself, am looking for help as it drives me up the wall !! If you manage to fix the problem I would appreciate your help. Thanks in anticipation,

Although I get the same error message from time to time, it never causes a
blue screen (BSOD) error. If you tried a different graphics card and you're
still getting BSOD errors, it might be a motherboard or BIOS problem. That
would be my guess, but I'm no expert. Just somebody trying to help.

You might also try reposting this problem to a different newsgroup. The
reason you're not getting any other help here might be because this
newsgroup is dedicated to security related problems/issues (e.g. viruses,
worms, Trojans, program bugs (vulnerabilities in MS speak), patches
(security updates in MS speak), security settings, security configurations,
security utilities, etc., but not motherboard problems, or graphics card
problems.)
