Re: Error message and system shut down

Sounds like it. Something has terminated your REmote Procedure Call service which is very important and you can't run your PC without it. Does it do it right when you turn your PC on? I'd run an anti-virus and spyware scan but first I would go to my Control Panel and check SERVICES icon and re-enable the Remote Procedure Call service. It lists by alphabetical order so look down halfway and you should see it and change it from "disabled" to "AUTOMATIC".

Classic sign of an ancient virus, the blaster as I recall.

Re: Error message and system shut down

Just to throw in my two cents, you can bypass that by going to Start > Run > COMMAND then enter "shutdown -a". That way you don't have to race to solve your problem. It should stop the shutdown. Still having problems with it?
