Re: computer crashing when connected to internet
 

I know ;) I edited my post accordingly as I missed that first time round. Would be very very suprised if it was purely the modem to blame here. 9 times out of 10 it's a PC issue, normally a corruption or damaged driver.
A reboot into safe mode (with networking) can sometimes help pinpoint the problem.

Re: computer crashing when connected to internet
 

ok so its the same issue with usb and ethernet... I'm still of the opinion that its something on the pc rather than the cable modem itself causing the problem... although i have seen stranger things , so obviously cant rule it out. just think its worth exploring other avenue's before trying to get a replacement modem...still having the fault..and incurring a charge in the process.

are u able to check the event viewer via the control panel then admin tools ?? any logs for the system ??? if the pc is shutting down on its own...there should be something in there.

Re: computer crashing when connected to internet
 

Ok, from using this info i've noticed on the system that iâ₠¬ÃƒÆ’¢â€žÂ¢m getting two continuous errors that keep recurring at the time when my computer resets:



Source-Service control manager:

Description-The Routing and Remote Access service terminated with service-specific error 340 (0x154).



And



Source-System Error

Description-Error code 1000007e, parameter1 c0000005, parameter2 81c2e095, parameter3 f8a1597c, parameter4 f8a15678.



Not sure what this all means and if it makes sense †“ hope it does and someone can help.



Have also noticed that as well as pc resetting i'm losing internet connection and have to reset pc to gain back the connection, the lights on my cable modem work as though i'm gaining internet connection when I canââ‚Âà ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢t!!!
the resetting error isn't as bad as when im using ethernet cable as it was when using usb as i couldnt even load up my computer using the usb it would continously reset before loading up desktop
