Shutdown loop

[Joe Hunter]

After installing Windows XP Professional on a clean drive,
and then activating it after the third boot, it now only
stays up for about a minute before rebooting by itself.

I get a popup message that Remote Procedure Call service
terminated unexpectedly, and the system must be shut down.
It says this is initiated y NT Authority\SYSTEM.

Now this cycle keep repeating t0o fast to even try and get
any fixes on that machine. In order to report the
problem, I am using a WinMe syetem here because the XP Pro
one is useless at this point.

Your computer has been infected by the Blaster virus/worm.

1. Get the Blaster removal script from MVP Kelly Theriot's web site:
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs_edits/msblast.vbs
2. Get the Microsoft patch from
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;823980#WinXP

If possible do the first two steps on an uninfected computer and copy
the downloaded files to a 3.5 inch diskette (they will both fit on the
same 1.44 mb diskette) or burn them to a CD

3. Disconnect from the Internet. Unplug Cable/DSL modem if you have
one. That prevents reinfection during the time interval between
running the script and the completion of the patch installation.
4. Run the script.
5. Install the patch.
6. Activate the Internet Connection Firewall in Windows XP
7. Reconnect to the Internet. Update your antivirus software and do
a complete scan.
8. Go to the Windows Update and get all repeat all of the critical
updates for your computer.

p.s. tests have shown that an unprotected Windows XP computer
connected to the Internet will be infected by the Blaster virus within
30 seconds.

Good luck
