Please help

RPC problem. System shutes down every 5 minutes. Error
comes up "originated by NT program. RPC terminated
abruptly."

I do not have a firewall. I have a Cable provided by Cox
cable company for my internet, and I called them they said
it is a Microsoft problem.

You most likely have a worm W32.Blaster.Worm
DISCONNECT the subject computer from any network IMMEDIATELY.

Install or enable a firewall IMMEDIATELY:

VERY IMPORTANT to repair, closing ports is NOT enough.
Download the appropriate patch referenced in Ron Martessl article
below.
You may need to do this at an uninfected computer and burn to CD or
save on floppy.

This is the IMPORTANT fix by Ron Martell:

After this is resolved prevent similar occurrences by installing ALL
Critical Updates from Windows Update.
Keep antivirus up to date and run at least weekly.
Install or enable a firewall.
