CRASH

[sam]

I have the same problem that a lot people seem to having.
When I'm on the internet for about 30 seconds an error
message comes up and says "the system is shutting down.
The shutdown was initiated by NT Authority System"..."The
Remote Procedure Call, RPC has terminated"
Then my computer shuts down completely and comes back on.
Can anyone please help. I work with the internet.
thanks,
Sam
