Last night my laptop kept shutting down after getting
this message:

"This system is shutting down please save everything
ect... Windows must restart because Remote Procedure Call
(RPC) terminated unexpectedly".

I have tried removing all programs that boot at startup
in case it was any of them but no luck. Is this some
corrupt file, virus, or bad program? Do i need to re-
install WinXP?

Thanks for any advice,

Mark
