Insufficient resources exist to complete api" after a power outag

[Guest]

I am receiving a lsass.exe system error that says "Insufficient resources
exist to complete api" when i boot. I also sometimes get a lsass.exe
Operation Failed "The requested operation was unsuccessful." when i try to
boot. This started after a quick power outage while the computer was on. I
know this can happen when you try to hibernate or when you get a virus, but i
dont hibernate and i have only been playing a single player game for the last
week. Although I was conencted to the net i have not been surfing or
downloading anything. As far as i know, the computer was idling when the
power outage happened. My bios seems to register my hard drive and memory
correctly as well.

Hi,

There's a good chance this is a virus. Take a look at the following
articles.

Thanks for the reply. I am aware of this virus but i believe it has
something to do with the power outage, since it began happening on the next
boot and the fact that i have only been using this computer to play a single
player game. I have not gone to any sites other that gamefaqs.com nor do i
even have an email account on this comp set up. I just did he bootfix
command from the recovery console and it did not help. any other thoughts?

was just out of space.
