Using Windows XP SP2, and I got this too before I reformatted.

Like, it would just display the 1:00 till shutdown screen, freeze, and then shut my computer down at random times without going away. It says something about how systems.exe is terminated or whatever. I've also noticed that I can't go to my computer during this crap. Could it be that my CPU runs at really high temps?

Even when I restart it still happens, PLEASE HELP.

Thanks.
 
Is the error message something like this:

Windows must now restart because the Remote Procedure Call
(RPC) Service terminated unexpectedly
 
Nah, just says system32.exe terminated or something and will shutdown in a minute.
 
Looks like your computer is infected, system32.exe is suspicious file in my opinion, but i'm currently on Vista so i cant tell.
 
I get that message on my laptop Danny. Any idea what's causing it?

The only time I've ever seen that error message was due to the MS.Blast Worm or Sasser Worm that hit PCs back in 2004. Either you have an unpatched install or you don't have an anti-virus or a combination of both.

For you and the OP, I recommend doing a virus scan. If you don't have an anti-virus, use AVG Free.
 
Run spybot too. If you dont find anything test the ram to make sure there is no problem there. memtest
