Unexpected shut down

[Rudy V]

A PC, using XP, about 1 year old has the following
problem.

After a short period of time, when using the internet the
PC will begin an unexpected shutdown giving the following
message.

Shutdown Initiated by NT/Authority/system
Remote Prodcdure Call (RPC) terminated unexpectedly.

The shutdown will take 60 seconds, then the computer will
re-boot.

Any suggestions would be appreciated
