My laptop continually shuts down after anything from about
30 seconds to 5 minutes working on the Internet.

The message I receive is .....

"Windows must restart because the remote procedure call
(RPC) service terminated unexpectedly"

Any ideas??

And keep your windows updated with critical updtates and run realtime virus
protection using a currently updated antivirus program.

Craig--you might have a virus, an then again maybe not.
I had a similar symptom on my laptop running XP Home.
I followed the advice that I might have a virus, and
reran NAV scan (From day one I have always updated
the virus defs before going on line!). No viruses found.
I downloaded and ran the blaster fix recommended for people
who are infected. No viruses found.

Ultimately I found that running the XP firewall and disabling
thruput for network processes other than the TCP/IP resolved
my issue.

Good luck--Steve
