This means that a Windows service is crashing when Windows loads. It will then either restart normally, or not attempt to restart itself. You should find more information in the Event Viewer as to what service this actually is.

Also note I have seen this behaviour occur on infected systems, but I'm not going to just come out and say that is what the problem is.
