System Shutdown when downloading files

I just installed a fresh oem Windows XP Pro on my own
custom-built computer.
This problem occurs only after I have a download started
after approximately one minute, and it has a 60-second
countdown timer.
The following is the error message text:
shutdown has been initiated by NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
RPC (Remote Proceedure Call) Service terminated
unexpectedly.
Generic Host Process for Win32 Services

I have a v.92 modem and this problem happens only when I
am downloading a file.
I found nothing in the Microsoft Knowledge Base on this
(except for contacting the computer manufacturer that I
bought the computer from, which does not pertain to me
because I build my own computers.)

...got any ideas? do you know anyone else who has had
this problem?
Thanks,
Norm
 
You connected to the internet w/o first installing a firewall and AV
software.

1st to stop the RPC error so it doesn't interupt you while your making
repairs:
Start | Run | services.msc /s
Scroll down to "Remote Proceedure Call (RPC)" NOT (RPC) Locator
Right click and select properties
Under the "Recovery" Tab change all failures from "Restart the Computer" to
"Restart the Service"
This will keep the RPC from coming up.

Disable msblast.exe in task manager.
Ctrl+Alt+Del | Processes | Right click msblast.exe and click "End Process"

Download the Blaster Security Patch at:
http://www.microsoft.com/security/incident/blast.asp

Download AdAware & Spybot S & D:
AdAware:www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/
Spybot S & D:www.safer-networking.org/

Disconnect from the internet

Run AdAware & Spybot
Run the Security Patch you downloaed earlier.

Make sure you have a firewall and AV software enabled and updated.
As long as you downloded and ran the patch above Blaster shouldn't come back
but there are plenty of others that can find your computer in minutes.

Change the RPC back to "Restart the Computer" the same as you did above.

Reconnect to the Internet and download the rest of the Microsoft Update
Security Patches.
