Please help, My Pc keeps restarting when connecting to the internet.It has a SoftK56 Data Fax Voice CARP Modem, P4 2.4ghz proccessor, MSI motherboard.
I got it formatted, but it still restarts. Please Help.

You almost certainly need newer drivers. Which version of Windows are you using? Go to the Zoltrix site and download the apprpriate drivers based on the model number and version of Windows. I'm assuming Zoltix based on the information you have provided so far; if this is not the case, let us know.

Well golly gee, TallCool1, that post just got you to 666.



Your next comment will designate you "The Neighbour of the Beast!!"



I'd agree with modem drivers as a possible cause. But I'd check for Spyware and Malware also.

okay, which well known virus is known to send itself over the net, and cause random restarts? Why it's the blaster worm, possible cause?

I disagree with the 'Blaster' diagnosis.


I've dealt with the exact same problem, exact same modem previously, before MSBlast was around. It was a driver issue then, and I'd bet this instance is a driver issue now!

ok then, so you are ruling out any possibility of a worm causing it?

That sounds like a wager to me, rather than a definitive statement.

you only enable the fire wall .that will prevent ur computer from restarting guarranted

The only sensible option I would assume, is to update your drivers and your anti virus software and also patch your OS with Windows Update.
A more recent Virus you may have seen in the news is the Sasser Virus, which will reboot your PC.
Install Ad-aware to scan for Spyware etc.

I had the sasser virus... is your computer giving a countdown warning before it shutsdown? if so, it may be the sasser...

you guys 'disagree' alot in here... we should all hold hands sing the pepsi song then roast marshmallows for smores!
