So what do Defcon folks think....

Malware or Vista quirks....?

I personally haven't see it yet. Errant application most likely. RPC related makes it very suspicious.

KSOD was an easy fix for me, I installed Debian. As for the cause, no, I do not think it is malware. I think it is a system trying to compensate for a denied login by using another system account.

One of my laptops catch the KSOD a while back...when I got to the value name part, the value was already NT AUTHORITY\Network Service.

I changed it to LocalSystem just to see what it would do, and theres no difference in how it acted before....

I probably have a different bug or something
