Hi,

I wonder if anyone has any idea about why, since i installed SP2,
services.exe is crashing intermittently after boot-up and logon. It's
saying that it cannot write to memory at a certain address and then
exiting with status code C0000005, which I believe is an access
violation? It then reboots the machine and is usually fine, although
it did it twice on the bounce today, which is worrying!

Anyone got any clues?

Cheers,

Matt
 
Could be DEP (Data Execution Prevention) related

Could try changing the

/NoExecute=OptIn

in your boot.ini file

to
/NoExecute=AlwaysOff

to see if that eliminates the problem

Sadly not... and now it's gone terminal - I can't even get to the
desktop after logging in to the domain before it reboots! Fine if you
just log into the local machine tho'..

I've tried unsuccessfully to roll-back SP2 install, but i get a
further error saying that it may already have been uninstalled...?

Now rebuilding machine from scratch back to SP1... argh.

Thanks for the suggestion anyway.
