I think it is remote procedure call in services and may be related to
Microsoft patch for LSASS.exe

Did you go on the Internet without a firewall program? There is constant
"attacks" lurking on the Internet, trying to find a recipient. You can
get something in a few seconds.. Windows XP SP1 has a built-in firewall,
but Microsoft for some reason did not have it turned on by default. The
new SP2 update fixes this.

It sounds to me as if you caught one of the old "worms" (like a virus).
It happened to me when I re-installed Windows XP a while back, well before
SP2. I forgot to turn on the XP firewall, and I didn't use a 3rd party
firewall either. Same thing, wouldn't last but a minute or two.

What you need as a Internet user:
1) a firewall program or a hardware firewall (like a router),
2) anti-virus software
3) anti-spyware software

Please just ignore me if this is not your problem.

For an online virus check, and also a security check to check your
firewall, , go here. You might be able to stay online by simply enabling
your XP firewall:
(control-panel\networks\properties\advanced - then put a check-mark in the
box that says "protect my computer". This is all assuming you did not get
the SP2 update package and install it.
