SBC DSL Keeps losing connection and PC is rebooting
A friend of mine called today that has a 500mhz P3 w/ 128 ram running xp home and just got sbc dsl. I know the system specs are marginal but they do exceed xp min's.
He can connect but he keeps losing his connection, I cant get in touch with him right now but I am wondering if he is losing his connection because the system reboots or if he indeed is losing his connection, he said sometimes xp wants to send an error report, other times while surfing it just reboots the whole computer. With the reboot I am thinking its hardware related or a bad driver and he is proly not losing his connection due to a prob with SBC but the actual reboot or error??? What do you all think? Where should I start? Power Supply? |

Is he up to date regarding critical updates?
It could be that is the blaster worm! A way to know if that is, is asking him if he sees a pop up window telling him to save his work and the computer will be restarted... Hope this helps.. Alex123 |

No the XP was clean installed just a week ago with a fresh format and all XP updates installed. Thanks though.
