Lsass 100% every 5-7 days

[Becker]

I have a problem that has been plaguing me for the longest time.

We have windows 2000 server, SP4. On it is loaded SQL Server 7, SP4 and a
couple other small apps, nothing major. We use it for SQL and file sharing.

Every 5-7 days the thing locks up with Lsass.exe at 100%. We we eventually
get server errors about memory and it reboots itself. During this time SQL
server locks up and everything stops responding.

I have tried spyware removal tools, periodic reboots of SQL server and virus
scanning. Nothing turns up.

I'm not sure what to do. I have been thinking of rebooting the server every
2 days, but am dumbfounded by the situation. Any ideas on what it could be?
Should I re service pack the machine?

Thanks,
Ben

Have you downloaded all the Microsoft critical updates? I had a virus checker running, and until I installed the updates, sasser(?) still reaked havoc with lsass

Thank you, this sounds like it is right on the spot with what i am
experiencing. I will try this.

I have got a similar problem after I have re-installed
Window2000. It was a clean and complete install. When I
first brought up Window, lsass aborted with message
of "System shutdown in 1 minutes by NT Authority\system"
with status code 128. After the reboot, the same system
shutdown takes place. I can never get my system up.

Any suggestion? I cannot get any chance to apply any
hotfix or patch if I get booted off every time.
