rebooting

HI,
I am having a problem I can't seem to figure out.......whenever I am connected to the internet, my system reboots......each and every time.I do not get any error messages......... My system worked fine until about two weeks ago............HELP
My OS is Windows ME

Thank you.
Xvelle.

 

Hello xvelle,

A number of questions:

Is there anything that stands out that happened 2 weeks ago? - downloads, updates (including MS)?

Did you clean out the cache files: cookies, IE, Temporary Internet Files?

Have you looked at your connection setup panel, anything change?

Have you run something like SpyBot or Ad-aware or virus scans to rule out trojans - dialers - virus infection?

BTW - you posted to the wrong board. This is the XP board.

Regards - Charles

edit note: just moved the thread from XP to ME and bumped it to the top - Newt

 

Hi xvelle,

Post your reply on the board so everyone else can follow the thread with the actions you have taken. That way, if someone else comes up with a potential solution, they won't be advising something you've already tried.

Its early yet, wait for more advice.

If it just pops off and reboots, this is a good indication the processor is overheating. Time to clean dust and cobwebs from the computer, inside and out. A can of air would be best, but hold the fans from spinning.

Hi,
Thanks to everyone who has responded to my problem.........
I think I have solved the problem:--- What I did , I removed the network adapter from device manager---systems-----control panel
I also removed the dial up network ----- properties---modem---control panel. And then I rebooted the system.....
After start up I recreated a dial up network,and the system recreated the network adapter........PROBLEM SOLVED.....In fact, this post was written from my computer.......
I hope I was not too confusing and maybe it could assist someone else out there
Thanks again for everyone's help
