To see the error message click here (sal.neoburn.net). If I turn the cable modem off the computer seems to keep running ok & if I turn the modem on & open Internet explorer the computer will restart within a few minutes. I was staring to think it was something to do with the cable modem & decided to try good old fashioned Dial-up & after a few minutes I got the same result. I have done a virus scan with AVG & latest DATs & nothing shows up. I have also run adaware & nothing shows up. I'm starting to wonder if i may have a trojan? This PC only has to last a few more weeks :-( Thanks for any help. Cheers Steve PS: Thanks to sal for providing the site to upload images to. :-)	Steve Askew (119)

It does exactly what you have described!! How do I know - it happened to me!! More info below: www.crn.com Cheers Pf1 :-)	PressF1 User (1065)
