rechek your memory module... clean memory slot... if it still resarts and have you a fatal error, one thing is for sure, replace you memory module with a new one...


another thing, try also checking your PSU, maybe its overloaded....

Is this the same computer that died when you plugged it into 110v instead of 220v? If so, I'm with ottens flavor and I'd also be checking the memory modules.

Does the computer crash when clicking internet or 4 seconds later?  Do you have more then one "shortcut" to the internet?  Can you leave your computer at desktop for an hour with no crashes?

that does not mean the physical action of pluging in a wire does it?

nope, the one you mentioned was pentium 4 of 512mb ram which the power supply died.
this one now  is pentiumIII an Hp e-pc model of cpu.
all is working except when i connect to the internet it restarts.
i suspect there is a virus.
so i scan with it with avg and found a virus at first then i try to remove it.
then i scan again with avg and found no virus.
but still it restarts.

Did you try AVG in safe mode? And did you do a registry clean up afterwards also?

http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner  Try Kaspersky...

My friend infected his machine badly, and Kaspersky did wonders helping me pinpoint the problem and helping me remove it.

For files Kaspersky couldn't remove, I used KillBox  --> http://killbox.net/ , and deleted them on reboot.

Are you sure it's not the NIC drivers causing you to reboot?  By default, XP will reboot automatically on a BSOD.  I've had bad NIC drivers cause restarts.  Make sure you have the correct drivers.  Try uninstalling the NIC drivers, then turn off your pc.  Then, plug in the ethernet cable while the pc is off.  Start it up, and see if it stays running until the hardware wizard installs the NIC drivers.  Perhaps you have a faulty NIC card?
