Dell Shuts Down

I have a relatively new Dell Dimension 2350 on my bench that operates seemingly normal and will shut down with no notice giving the following error message
The system is shutting down. Please save all your work This shutdown is initiated by NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM.
Windows must now shutdown because remote procedure call service terminated unexpectedly."

I have never seen this message before and do not know what to do. Does anyone?

That may be the Blaster Worm. Do a virus scan or use the Blaster removal tool.

Thanks! I did a Google search and found out that it was indeed the blaster worm. I have taken the necessary steps. Again thanks.
