ok, so im playing games adn stuff and i get a popup thats says "this system is shutting down, please save all work in progress and log off. Any unsaved changes will be lost This shutdown was initiated by NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEN

and it givesd a message " windows must now restart because the remote proceedure call (RPC) service terminated unexpectedly"

    Not too sure, but sounds like the exploit mentioned in other threads. Did you get the security patch Microsoft released about 8-9 days ago?

    If this RPC flaw gets exploited any worse, its going to get a lot worse then just having systems restarting :(
