NT Authority\system error

[Hjalmar Leon]

I formatted my HD and re-installed Win XP, everything works fine except that
I get these errors and the computer shutdown in a few minutes or seconds:
Message says: "Windows must now restart because the remote procedure call
(RPC) service terminated unexpectedlly" sometimes I get this error "This
system is shutting down. Please save all work in progress and log off. Any
unsaved changes will be lost. This shutdown was initiated by NT
AUTHORITY\SYSTEM"

Any reason why this is happening? Thanks newsgroup.

If you connected the PC to the Internet without having first
installed the KB824146 Hotfix, without having first installed an
antivirus application with current virus definition files, and before
enabling a firewall, you're very likely to get infected from any of
the thousands of PCs on the Internet that are constantly broadcasting
the Blaster and/or Welchia worms. It only takes a few seconds of
exposure.

To stay on-line long enough to get the necessary updates, patches,
and removal tools, click Start > Run, and enter "shutdown -a" when the
next RPC countdown begins. This will abort the shut down. Also, make
sure you've enabled a firewall before starting, to preclude any more
intrusions while getting the updates/patches/tools.
