system shut down

[BA]

I just updated my desk top computer HP8575 from windows
98 to windows xp. When I log on within a few minutes my
system gives me the following message and shuts down.
Windows must now restart because the RPC (Remote
Procedure Call) service terminated unexpectedly

Please help
