system shutdown after rpc terminates unexpectedly

I just did a clean install of XP Pro.
So far, Ive put on SP1, and the chipset drivers (Nvidia 3.13's, for my A7N8X Deluxe mobo). I have also installed daemon tools. Thats about it.
When connected to the internet, it was working fine (connected via PCI 56K modem). Then, a message popped up saying something about NT AUthority/System, that the Remote Prodedure Call (RPC), terminated unexpetedly. It gives me 1 minute until it shuts down the computer.
It has done this 3 times; the first time, while i was surfing the net; afterwards, someone called and said that they had called earlier, about the time i was booted.

Another time, when I disconnected from the internet, the same message popped up.
It happened again, after I rebooted, and was on the internet trying to find out what was causing it at Microsofts knowledge base. Came up empty. then, the message popped up again.

Im not sure why its doing this; so far, my best guess is that when there is a problem with the connection (someone calls the phone, or, I try and disconnect), that the comp doesnt like it.
I will be switching back to high speed in a few weeks, but, for now, this is really annoying and I dont want any issues with my install.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

 

you have the msblast virus.. unplug from the network.. boot up and turn off (disable) your com+ services.. plug back in and then download this

install it..

then run this tool

I agree with Kodo. that happened to me and the virus was exactly the cause.

 

did you get this fixed chris?

 

just happened to me saturday (again)...i didn't have time to deal with it, but i did shut off the pc and left it.

 

i would like to add that you download the patch to a floppy and keep it around so the next time you install, just patch it before you jack in. Then you can take your time and not worry.

 

Or of course you could slipstream the update into your XP installation disk

 

that too..
