Everytime I surf the internet the PC crashes. The system is fine until I try to surf the inernet and then it will re boot after surfing for a few minutes. By the way I am always connected to the internet by MSN instant messenger but nothing crashes until I actually surf the web. Here are my system specs:
XP Pro - OS
1.1 ghz athlon cpu
256 ram
DSL connection

any help would be great, Thanks

Depening on which browser you are using to surf, I would upgrade it to the latest version. This should fix any bugs or problems in the older version. I know IE6 has some patches and a service pack, and Netscape is out with 7.1.

Also try doing the windows updates. In addition to upgrading internet explorer, it will give you other updates to operating system components to increase stability and security.
