Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

On occasion, a "System Shutdown" prompt comes up and proceeds to restart
my computer after 1 minute. The top text of the prompt basically says to
save all work currently open, etc.". The bottom text of the prompt says
"Windows must now restart because the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service
terminated unexpectedly."

I know this is symptomatic of a couple of viruses, e.g., blaster; however,
this system is clean.

Some time ago someone offered a fix by changing some key in the Registry
that essentially allowed multiple errors before the RPC service
terminated. Does anyone know what it might be?
