Pc sometime looses modem not in device manager, using Rockwell Ext pnp.

More concerning is after being on the internet for a short period a message
RPC Terminated Unexpectedly appears and the machine is automaticaly
rebooted.

Any thoughts suggestion would be gratefully recieved.
 
Apparently, your computer is infected with the W32.Blaster.Worm or one of its variants.
This happened because you have not been using an internet connection firewall and have
neglected to install the critical updates available at the Windows Update website.

Are you looking for info about the cause of "Remote Procedure Call (RPC)",
initiated by NT Authority\System error message that shuts down Windows
(you might also see svchost.exe error occasionally)?

Thanks for the advice Carey, as it's a new install will probaly wipe pc
reload and install latest sevice pack and firewall BEFORE i access the net.
 
Enable the firewall before physically connecting the network cable,
otherwise you have a strong chance of a repeat occurrence.
