    Hi guys,

    Was wondering if any of you have come across this error in windows xp pro service pk 2:

    System32/ services.exe has stopped running unexpectedly

    It then asks if you want to send an error report and starts a 1-minute countdown to shut down the computer!

    This error happens intermittently, the system could be running for 24 hours or 24 minutes and it happens even if I haven’t opened or ran any programs. I've checked for ram issues and there dosen't appear to be any problem. Any ideas?

    I’ve only just built the PC and the spec is as follows:

    AMD Athlon 64 3700+ 2.2GHz Socket 939, 1MB
    EPoX EP-9NPA+ SLI,nForce4 SLI,Socket-939 ,ATX,S-ATA2,GbLAN,Firewire,DDR, PCI-Ex16.
    Corsair Value S. PC3200 DDR-DIMM 1024MB Kit w/two matched Value Select 512MB
    NorthQ 4775-500BULK, ATX 500W, 120mm Fan, 12-17dBA, 4xSATA, SLI, 20/24pin
    Maxtor DiamondMax 10 300GB SATA2 16MB 7200RPM
    Samsung DVD±RW burner, SH-W162L, 16x, Dual, LightScribe
    POINT OF VIEW GeForce 6800GS 256MB GDDR3, PCI-Express, 425Mhz/1GHz
    Gigabyte GZ-FSCA1-AN Aurora Black Alu case.

    Any help would be great !:)

    I'm not sure,the pc was only connected to the web once to down load the latest drivers updates etc through a very secure system at work. I also have all the latest norton antivirus and anti spyware packages.
    But I suppose you never know..... I'll try out all your suggestions.

    thanks for the help

    You may have been unlucky and got caught....
    A few more thing would be to run msconfig and see if there are any unusual programmes starting up or checking the event viewer for any error logs....
    Could also be an issue with a driver but I doubt it....
    Let us know how you get on.

    Check the event log for the reason the service is shutting down.
