My PC reboots w/o warning when I click a link or perform some other type of tcp/ip-related function. This is a Compaq (no jokes, please) PII 350. I ran AV on all files with no infection. IE 5.5 SP2, W2K SP2, McAfee. Thanks.

Boot into Safe Mode (F8).

Go to the "System" control panel applet and go to the "Advanced" tab.

Click the "Startup and Recovery" button.

About half-way down the window is a check-box for "System Failure" and "Automatically Reboot". Uncheck this and reboot.

While this won't resolve your problem, it will prevent the automatic reboot ; and you should thereafter get an error message with more specific details of the problem.

Make sure that your TCPIP setting are correct. Use ipconfig /all at command prompt. Also make sure ur AV virus-definitions are updated one.
