| Encountered much the same problems on a custom built machine. Turned out it was a brand new Antec power supply that was failing. Sometimes the machine would not boot. Sometimes it would bluescreen. Sometimes it would slow to a crawl.
Replaced the PSU, no problems since.
Afterward, checked the ASUS forum (that's my mobo) and found out that this was a common problems with Antec PSUs.

| | I had the same lockup problem. Disabling Windows Defender fixed the problem. |

| I had the same issue. Knock on wood, but i solved it by uninstalling Symantec Internet Security, as well as a bunch of other things i should not have uninstsalled, but the culprit was the Symantec. I've had so many issues with Symantec NIS over the years, i'm not sure why i continue to be dumb enough to use it. Best wishes to all with dealing with this error. Major frustration!
***EDIT****
The problem has recurred, although in a slightly different manner. After hours of analysis, I now know that my system is infected with a virus, one that disquises itself very well and freezes the system anytime any antivirus and adware software is running |

| | Computer is sluggish ... and get error message like many posting here, "Logon process has failed .... dialog". I have an HP Pavilion and just upgraded RAM to 2 GB. Currently dumping my CA virus to see if that solves the problem. Anyone have a solution?

| | I had same problem in spades and tried many things. checked all disks and memory and started to delete processes and programs. my cpu was running 55% with no apps running. went to minimum startup processes. finally solved the problem by uninstalling my antivirus program, which was CA Internet security suite ver 2007. I was only using the anti virus piece of this suite but apparently it somehow was causing the problem. |

| My probs were same on new Acer laptop with pre-installed Vista and Windows Defender. I was at point thinking like others that it was my hard drive. But, after a week and reading posts from people like you willing to share info, my Acer is now running smoothly! You cannot uninstall Windows Defender but, I turned it off completely and also found I had a corrupted sidebar which I disabled. Hard to believe these were the culprits! Kept running in safe mode and restoring and was ready to pull my hair out!! Windows Defender had done an automatic update on 5-6-08 and thats when my trouble began. Thanks again for posting and helping resolve my probs..... |

| | I have been having this problem since installing SP1 and found this website while looking for solution, although I don't think SP1 is culprit. I recently installed AVG 8. A little box came up and said AVG 8 would not run well with other virus software installed. I would suggest a poll that includes Threatfire, AVG 8, Defender, Win Patrol (all currently on my HP8300 desktop) and any other security software to see if one or two items come up as the culprit. I am removing Threatfire first to see if that helps. Otherwise I am using sleep mode to shut down until this problem is solved. |

| | Ok, I just uninstalled Threatfire and went thru the required "restart" process and was able to logon without getting the error messag (without incident). I am thinking now that previously, Threatfire worked fine before I installed AVG 8, in fact I have had it for at least 6 months and it worked with the previous AVG version 7.5.524. I also had Superantispyware, spyware blaster, defender, spybot and winpatrol installed with the AVG 7.5., most of which I uninstalled to get AVG 8 to work. So, is the real culprit AVG 8? Anyone have a suggestion for an Antivirus that will work with all of the above? Thank you |
