| 483967 | 2006-09-11 11:59:00 | I was away from the computer for a short while, and when I returned it had rebooted itself. never seen this before. I checked the Event Viewer, and found this error reported: The Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 1 time(s). The following corrective action will be taken in 60000 milliseconds: Reboot the machine. Tried to find more info at Microsoft without success. Anyone have any clues what could cause this? Running XP Pro SP1 |

| 483969 | 2006-09-11 15:24:00 | Update to SP2.Thx for the suggestion Rob. But not in this lifetime. | Greg (193) | ||
| 483970 | 2006-09-11 20:39:00 | Considering Microsoft will give the boot to SP1ers, it is the best suggestion so far, and probably will be. | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 483971 | 2006-09-11 20:57:00 | Considering Microsoft will give the boot to SP1ers, Meaning? All SP1 WinXPs will suddenly self-destruct? And having a worm means you apply a SP and then its all better? Run some anti-malware programs. |

| 483972 | 2006-09-11 21:34:00 | Well.. if this was a oncer just ignore... if this keeps happening you need at least one patch from MS, you will also need to remove the worm/?? first. | Rob99 (151) | ||
| 483973 | 2006-09-11 22:24:00 | Unsure why you're convinced it's a worm or something. Anti-virus scan comes up clean. Hijackthis came up clean (more about that in another thread). And yeah it's only happened once, so if it occurs again I'll delve into it a bit more. Cheers |

| 483974 | 2006-09-12 02:27:00 | Unsure why you're convinced it's a worm or something.I'm not convinced, but your symptoms sounds exactly like the blaster worm, except yours has only rebooted once. | Rob99 (151) | ||
