Hi, I hope someone can help me. I been getting this
message box that pops up every 10-15 mins. I"m online and
it pops up and says something like.. the remote procedure
call services has terminated..., and it counts down from 1
min to zero and reboots my pc automatically. I'm not sure
is it a virus?

Does anyone know how to fix this, I would appreciate it
greatly if anyone can help me.
