SetNamedSecurityInfo execution restarts system - c++

Question

I'm trying to change audit settings of a folder.As i was testing my code on different machines i found that SetNamedSecurityInfo call restarts the system.This happened with some machines.A pop up generates which says "Windows has encountered a security issue and will restart in one minute".I'm not able to figure out the reason.Any help will be appreciated!
HANDLE hProcess = GetCurrentProcess();
HANDLE hToken;
DWORD val;
BOOL result;
result = OpenProcessToken(hProcess, TOKEN_ADJUST_PRIVILEGES, &hToken);
if (result == 0)
{
printf("\nBreak After open process");
return 0;
}
else{
printf("\ncontinue after open process");
}
// Used for reading SACL's
result = SetPrivilege(hToken, SE_SECURITY_NAME, TRUE);
if (result == 0)
{
printf("\nBreak After setprivilege");
return 0;
}
else{
printf("\ncontinue after open process");
}
CloseHandle(hToken);
retval = GetNamedSecurityInfo(file, SE_FILE_OBJECT, SACL_SECURITY_INFORMATION, &owner, NULL, NULL, &sacl, &psd);
if(retval != 0)
{
wcout << "GetNamedSecurityInfo failed with error: " << retval << endl;
return -1;
}
printf("\nBuilt trust successfully before");
BuildTrusteeWithSid(ptrust,psd);
printf("\nBuilt trust successfully");
printf("\ntrying to modify ...");
EXPLICIT_ACCESS ea;
PACL pNewSACL = NULL;
ACCESS_MODE AccessMode = SET_AUDIT_SUCCESS; //SET_AUDIT_SUCCESS, SET_AUDIT_FAILURE
DWORD dwAccessRights = 0X410D0060;
DWORD dwInheritance = CONTAINER_INHERIT_ACE | OBJECT_INHERIT_ACE;
ZeroMemory(&ea, sizeof(EXPLICIT_ACCESS));
ea.grfAccessPermissions = dwAccessRights;
ea.grfAccessMode = SET_AUDIT_SUCCESS;
ea.grfInheritance = dwInheritance;
ea.Trustee = *(ptrust);
DWORD dwRes = SetEntriesInAcl(1, &ea, sacl, &pNewSACL);
if(dwRes != ERROR_SUCCESS)
{
printf("SetEntriesInAcl() error %u\n", dwRes);
}
else
{
printf("SetEntriesInAcl() is OK\n");
}
dwRes = SetNamedSecurityInfo(file, SE_FILE_OBJECT, SACL_SECURITY_INFORMATION, NULL, NULL, NULL, pNewSACL);
if(dwRes != ERROR_SUCCESS)
{
printf("SetNamedSecurityInfo() error %u\n", dwRes);
}
else
printf("SetNamedSecurityInfo() is OK\n\n");
LocalFree(psd);

There is an global policy entry that controls the shutdown if the system was unable to log security audits.
See:
"Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Local Policies\Security Options"
"Audit: Shut down system immediately if unable to log security audits"
This could happen in combination with:
"Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Local Policies\Security Options"
"Audit: Audit the accesss of global system objects"
