Title: something\'s wrong with my computer ! help!
Post by: lionken07 on August 12, 2003, 11:45:32 AM

my Dell Inspiron 8500 keep on restarting by itself. This happens within 30 minutes of turning on the computer.

everytime this happens a message comes up:

"This system is shutting down. This shutdown was initiated by NT authority/systems.
Windows must now restart because Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service terminated unexpectedly."

so what can I do to fix this? anyone? This is really annoying!!

I\'m surprised to see so many people owned by this virus.  I was untouched, as usual.

Do you guys open every attachment you get, run unknown executables, and have no firewall... etc etc?  I have to have a high level of confidence in something before I run it.

it wasnt an attachment, and used a commonly used windows port

it could have used any normally open port like POP or SMTP, they just choose to use TFTP
