unexpected shutdown

[Juan Romero]

Hey guys,

I have a problem here. My windows XP proffessional computer is restarting
unexpectedly every 5 minutes. Here is the message I get:

this system is shutting down
this shutdown was initiated by NTauthority/system because the RPC service
terminated unexpectedly.

I cannot work, please HELP!

Thanks in advance
