System re-start problem

[Anna]

After I startup my computer, in a few minutes a message
window pops up saying something in NT Security\System or
some Remote Procedure Call requires a system reboot and
displays a timer to save my work. This happens within 2-3
minutes after the start-up. For some reason, my Norton
Antivirus autoprotect went off by itself! One time it
also brought up a Dr. Watson about some "Generic Host
Process for Win32". Can I get help with this problem?

(I have Win XP on a hp with Intel Celeron)

Thanks.
