The Semaphore timeout period has expired. Your computer will continue to try and obtain an address on its own from the network address (DHCP) server.
This has a yellow triangle with white exclimation mark.

I used to get these two entries in my Windows log, but nothing *appeared* to be wrong.
In the end, I found that manually putting the two Virgin DNS server addresses 194.168.4.100 and 194.168.8.100 in my router config settings, rather than having it detect them automatically, "cured" this problem.
However, I agree with others that the restart problem may be something else entirely, possibly an add-on in Internet Explorer causing issues or an unrelated software/hardware issue?
