If LSA stops, then the system shuts down (rather dramatically.. it gives 
you a countdown).  Try killing lsass.exe sometime :)

The error usually has something to do with the network in my experience, 
although the only time I've ever had it myself I fixed it with an OS 
reinstall (life's too short when you can't track it down).
