system shutting down unexpectedly

quick question:
I have found some help on Microsofts Knowledge Base but
none have remedied my problem. I get this error on my
computer quite frequently saying this:
"System shutting down
Initiated NT authority system
time before shutting down"

and right afterwards:
"windows must restart because remote procedure call (RPC)
service terminated unexpectedly."

then of course, my computer shuts down. Most of the time
it does not even let me save anything. And yes, it
happens unexpectedly, whether I am playing games, writing
something or what have you. I have not been able to fix
the problem as of yet. I was wondering if anybody could
help me. Thanks in advance.
 
If you connected the PC to the Internet without having first
installed the KB824146 Hotfix, without having first installed an
antivirus application with current virus definition files, and before
enabling a firewall, you're very likely to get infected from any of
the thousands of PCs on the Internet that are constantly broadcasting
the Blaster and/or Welchia worms. It only takes a few seconds of
exposure.

To stay on-line long enough to get the necessary updates, patches,
and removal tools, click Start > Run, and enter "shutdown -a" when the
next RPC countdown begins. This will abort the shut down. Also, make
sure you've enabled a firewall before starting, to preclude any more
intrusions while getting the updates/patches/tools.
