System Shutdown

[Laurie]

Yesterday I kept getting a message "System shutdown. The
system shutdown was initiated by NT Authority/System."
Then "Message. Windows must now restart because the
Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service terminated
unexpectedly." There would then be a 1 minute countdown
and it would shutdown. After rebooting the same message
would occur within several minutes. At one point a
message that "this computer is in use and has been
locked."
Anyone know what this is about and how I might rectify
this? Thanks
