I don't know what happened. It retarts on its own every thirty minutes or so...

If you can't see that picture, it says:


This system is shutting down. Please save all work in progress and log off. Any unsaved changes will be lost. The shutdown was initiated by NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM

Time before shutdown : 00:00:48

Message

Windows must now restart because the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service terminated unexpectedly



If you gus have any advice...it would be awesome. I love you guys!

I see your messenger open at the bottom of the screen. Are you online when it shuts down? It could be the sasser worm if it happens when you are on line. If that's it, then you can remove it pretty easily. You'll just have to get the fix from another computer and bring it on disk.

Yes, I read about my error and it seems to be a worm of some sort. I am online when it happens. Where can I get the fix? Thanks!
