Ok. Just happend again.

BSOD. Winlogon.exe needed to close and my computer shuts down because of this fatal system error. It's been happening as of yet and I was wondering if anybody could possibly identify the source (or multiple, possible sources) of this issue.

Any help is appreciated. I don't even know where to start with this.

restart? did you try basic troubleshooting techniques?
When does it happen exactly, can windows start?

shut it down manually before it closes it self. the only problem i ever had with it was it eating 100% of my cpu. I restarted and then no problems after that

What happens is that usually durring the log off procedure, I'll get a bunch of windows that say "TRSKW:[some random process].exe" End now? I click end now, they do their thing (3 to 4 messages are the norm). After this, A window comes up that says winlogon.exe has experienced a problem. I can terminate it or debug it. Either button I click, the computer goes BSOD and I get a message that says that a fatal stop error (c00002a1 or something close to that). It says the system has been shut down, and then I press the power button on the front, cut the power, and re-boot.

It comes back on, gives me the whole error report thing, which I report back to Microsoft (10+ times it's happened in the past 3 months). After this, it's fine for a while. I'm looking for a cause/somthing I've done/something that triggers this kind of thing. I want to find a solution.

It's frustrating.

Well google it yourself, several sites back this up, so Id run a virus scan, or whatever you can to try and get rid of it. Good Luck.

Winlogin.exe is a virus, however winlogon.exe is a normal part of Windows XP. Clarification as to which is causing the shutdown, macK?
