System Shutdown

[Steve Burton]

Have just installed XP onto my computer and experiencing
a problem.
So far it has only happened when AOL is running.

Without warning an error message box will appear saying:

"The system is shutting down. The shutdown was initiated
by NT Authority\System.
Windows will restart because the REMOTE PROCEDURE CALL
(RPC) service terminated unexpectedly."

A timer then counts down 1 minute and the computer
restarts.

Is this bad?
Cheers
