Hello to all,
I had an issue with the pc, and when I shut it down, it got worse. Now, it won't even run windows. Before it gets to it, I get a message saying that there has been an lsass.exe error, something about a password. Anyhow, I have done some research online, and the most I found was that it was a Sasser worm, and to run the Stinger, or other Sasser remover tools. Unfortunately, I can't, because I can't open windows. The pc will reboot a few seconds after the error message comes out, without giving me the chance to disable the shutdown (under cmd, shutdown -a), because it doesn't even get to windows desktop.
I tried to repair the pc using the original installation disk, and it tells me there isn't anything wrong with the pc. I figured, if I can access the MS DOS, I could go ahead and run Stinger, but it tells me that it is not made to run in DOS... so I can't fix it because I need windows, and I can't open it...
Ideas? I appreciate any help!
Thanks in advance!

try booting in safe mode(f8). and running adaware and anti virus, check msconfig unknown processes, try also system retore (if running) prior to date of error,...:)

Sorry, I guess I forgot to mention that I cannot get to Safe Mode either. I get to the menu for Safe Mode, but then when I click on Safe Mode, before the screen shows up I get the exact same error, and the pc reboots.
