Hello people,

Hope some people can help me,this is a strange one.I'm running winXP pro on broadband (BTopenworld),using Acatel speedtouch USB drivers v1.4.3.After some 4 hours,the computer automatically reboots.However,if I upgrade the Acatel modem drivers/software its okay,but the computer runs slow.

Anyone know what this could be?

Many Thanks.

Hi,
Are you removing all old drivers before reinstalling or upgrading the drivers?
Are the drivers compliant with XP ?
There are still many drivers out there not compliant with XP.
I do hope this helps.

(1)Yes, I am removing old drivers before installing update drivers.
(2)Yes the drivers are compliant with xp

I have noted the time used when it reboots and its every 4 hours.

Hi again and this must be frustrating. Only other thing that comes to mind is an IRQ conflict?
Sound like the OS is fighting itself.
