Help--XP keeps shutting down

[Dave]

I keep getting an error message that reads "Remote
Procedure Call service terminated unexpectedly" and
Windows gives me 60 seconds to save and exit from my
applications before it shuts down. It happened three
times within the past hour. I searched the support
website and found information regarding this error
message for Windows 2000 users but not for XP users.
What's going on and what can I do about it? Thanks for
any input you can give me.
