lsass.exe terminated unexpectedly with status code 128

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Windows 2000 Advanced Server SP4.
It had all the post-SP4 patches installed, including MS04-011.
This server is on a small home LAN.

Started getting the following error:

"The system process
'C:\WINNT\system32\lsass.exe' terminated unexpectedly with
status code 128. The system will now shut down and
restart"

Nothing has been changed or added on the server.
The machine is not infected with Sasser or any of its variants.
This occurs in Normal boot or in Safe Mode.

Reapplied the updates and SP4. Also ran a repair of W2K from CD, but this
still happens.

Not sure how to proceed other than a complete reload.
Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Greg
