system shutdown

[nancy]

Very frequently now when I'm on line I get the following
message and the system shuts down and restarts.

"Shutdown initiated by NT Authority System"
"Windows must restart Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service
terminated unexpectedly"

Any ideas as to what is causing this?

I would appreciate any help.

Nancy

Hi Nancy

This is a posting from MVP Kelly Theriot:

****To stop the reboots: Go to Start/Run and type in: services.msc. Scroll down
to Remote Procedure Call (RPC)/Logon/First Failure/Restart the Service.

Then close Windows Explorer, End Process in the Task Manager for
msblast.exe, run the edit on line 257 then run the patch listed below it:
