Hi baller,
Somehow your winlogon seems to be terminating a few seconds earlier.
I want you to check a value for me in the Registry, follow the steps below:

Start -> Run.
Type: regedit
Press <enter>
Goto: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control
In the right pane, tell me the value of WaitToKillServiceTimeout.

5000 is very less, did you change this value previuosly?
5000 means windows will only give 5 seconds to all applications to terminate before it shutdows, which is very less; and hence your applications are termianted.
I suggest, you change back to the initail value of 20000.

WaitToKillServiceTimeout is the time windows gives to all services\applications to terminate propely; if they don't in the required time; Windows will forcebly terminate them adruptly.
Which seems to be happening in your case, as the winlogon is being forced to terminate even before it has finished its job, which is why you are getting the blue-screen.
Again I highly recommend you change the value to 20000, which is the default value suggested by Microsoft.

Hi Baller...

Let me clarify this for myself. You reset the value in WaitToKillServiceTimeout to the default value of 20000, as Darth Ash suggested, and you are still having the problem?

If you haven't tried Darth's suggestion I would sure give it a shot.

Do you have Roxio Go Back (usually in Norton System Works) installed on this machine?

Hi Baller,
I need you to check another value in the registry; follow the steps below:
Start -> Run
Type: regedit
Press <enter>

Goto:
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop
In the right-pane, check if the value of AutoEndTasks is 0; if not then change it 0.
