HELP! MY COMPUTER IS PISSING ME OFF!

[CityBoyGoneCountry]

About every 3 minutes I get a message saying "Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service terminated unexpectedly"

And then it automatically restarts my computer.

What the fuck is an RPC and how do I fix it???

[PaRaNoIa]

hahahahahahahaha!


That sucks, and I don't know what it is..:p

Sucks to be you.

No idea, just accept the fact all computers are the devil. I switched to Mac because I was sick and tired of dealing with PC's. Than yesterday, the battery decides it doesn't want to charge and it is only a few months old. They had a battery recall, but my isn't included. I'm pissed and waiting to call them when I cool down. But yeah, I have a laptob with no battery, so basically it is a portable fucking desktop.

Anyway, good luck with your issue. Oh and if you see bill gates or the CEO of apple, punch them in the mouth for me. :chainsaw:

I was going to suggest that, but since his PC only works for 3 minutes, then restarts, I didn't..


I take back what I said on the other thread.. You're not cool as shit anymore bob.. That was just mean..

I hope this helps man.
here is some things you should do take my advice.




Because what you have is a virus, You should do A temporary fix that allows you to use your computer to download the patch is to:
Go to Start->Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Services->Remote Procedure Call (RPC)->Recovery Tab and choosing "Take No Action" for all three choices. Its a back door in windows xp. This will allow you to go down load the (fix) before your computer shuts off. Then go to symantec.com and get the blaster worm patch. Or call call hp help#1-800-474-6836.



Could be another issue.



Alternative:





Start->Run...type "services.msc" (no quotes) into the text box. The Services Window opens. Highlight the RPC entry (NOT the RPC Locator) and from the menu bar click Action/Properties... On the properties sheet click the Recovery tab. For First and Second Failures, set to "restart the service." For Subsequent Failures, set to "Restart the Machine." This way you know if the service has failed more than twice, indicating a problem. I also set the restart time to 3 minutes to give myself some time to play around a bit in case the system shuts down again. Hope this helps.

I ran the fix and it said no worm was found on my computer. But I downloaded the patch and installed it anyways.

So far, so good. We'll see how long I can stay on now.

Thanks man. You're the first person I'm giving rep to.

[invision]

i belive that is the mydoom virus thier is a patch for it if that one didnt cure it

[spiked666killer]

No problem, Some people have more skills than others on the subject.
Anytime thoe.

[shaunyboy666]

I had this problem a few weeks ago, i'm running on a copied O/S and it updated on me then started shutting off every time i tried to delete the hotfixes this must be new software microsoft are useing to recognise the fraudsters like myself, one thing to say to the billionaire BILL GATES. You've gotta get up earlier in the morning to catch me out. Am 100% active again and with 100% free software!!!!!!!! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha HA:thumbsup:

[spiked666killer]

And I really don't think pirated software should be talked about here.
Or any forum boreds for that matter. Some may agree and disagree with me but stealing is wrong no matter what way you look at it. Would you like to be "ripped" off because some one was stealing your hard work. Yes I may not agree with bill gates and microsoft corp for that matter. But I will still legaly go buy a new computer. Or build one.


Imo- You wont get far in life with that view on things.



Have a good one,

oh no lets not let bill gates get ripped off (cause we all know he struggling like us)

but instead lets go pay 299.99 for winxpprosp3
or
msofficepro (full) for 469.95
(and get ripped off ourselves)

since they made their money back along time ago, he should think of giving the consumer a break!!!

but hey, at least vista will retail for only 100.00

[JaggedEdge]

ahh... I'm with you on this. Steal from Bill Gates all you want. I really would love to punch him if I ever came across him. It should be noted I havn't been in a fight since the 7th grade, I don't like it and talk my way out shit when I can. But I'm serious, if I ever see you Bill, you will get a fat lip. Selling inferior products at inflated prices. Viruses are a joke too. Virus protection makes them money though, so why worry about fixing the OS in order to eliminate viruses. They just give you a patch for your now fucked up computer.

He's right dude, you have malware. In partilcular, you have the blaster worm. I think webroot spysweeper can fix it, I'm not sure, I have a few substacnes really impairing me right now. one of these should getit, probably trendmicro or anti-vir aor AVG, and ewido just everybody should have.

It probably takes about the same amount of time it takes to log onto cannabis.com and post a thread asking about the computer problem. lol. :thumbsup:

Actually, when you don't really know what you're looking for, it takes a long time to read through all the google results until you find something that might help you. It's much, much faster and easier to just ask someone who already knows the answer.

My computer is working fine now, thanks to spiked666killer.

[Skink]

Is this happening on the bootleg copy of Xp you were looking for???

[cambam]

Yeah, it was deffo the blaster virus. In my first summer of working at my current job, there was a massive out break of this; ended up a gang of 20-30 techies walking over to the relevent buildings (8 in total), atleast 4 floors each, and 300 PC's per floor, (yeah, thats a lot). It looked like something outta a geeky movie.

It required the same patch, and also disabling the RPC service. Took all day too, in lovely weather, was gutted.

[jamstigator]

Same worm wiped out every computer where my woman works EXCEPT hers, because she was wise and listened to me, and had installed ZoneAlarm. So she got to play games and have fun while the techs spent a day or two fixing everyone else's computers. Now ALL computers there have ZoneAlarm on them. I have made a difference in the world!

[orangeman]

I had that about a year or two ago. It happened to me one time when I kept trying to end the process of svchost.exe I forgot how to fix it but go on Google.com and enter in the exact message you get and you'll get pages with people asking the same exact problem, you might fine helpful results :D.
