Service Control Manager Error
Hello,
Received a Service Control Manager Error "The DHCP Client service depends on the Ancillary Function Driver for Winsock service which failed to start because of the following error:
A device attached to the system is not functioning."
This caused my W7 Ultimate 64 Bit computer to lock up after the control/alt/delete screen. After I hit Ctrl/Alt/Del the screen does not show any users to log in.
According to the event log this has happened before and I have noticed the same issues before. It will reboot in safe mode.
Can anyone give me some advice on determining which device is not functioning as I can't decipher it and could this be a failing board related problem? I have gotten Kernel Power Errors "the system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly." even though the computer was restarted by a program and did reboot, or from a user shutdown or restart in which it did reboot?
I hope this is the correct area for this question and I appreciate any assistance.
Glenn
