System locks when accessing Internet
I have a Windows 98 System that has been reformatted, it was
reformatted because you could play gameson the computer for hours, but when you try to get on the internet you get between 10-20 of internet access then the computer locked up. Lights go off on network card, monitor does not receive a signal and you have to turn the power off from the power supply to get it to restart. At first I was thinking overheating but you can run the system all day just do not access the the internet. So then Ithought bad network card. Tried a different one and still have same issue. So I considred driver errors, went out and downloaded all the latest drivers for every piece of hardware in the system, reformatted again and stil lhaving the same issue. Am I down it it just being something bad on motherboard. I even went as far as to try a different browser in cxase is ws an issues of memeory useage by Internet Explorer! Any ideas? |

If, in fact you have no heat or physical connection issues: What do you have installed as your protection against Internet attacks? How secure is your network [keep in mind: the Internet IS part of your network when you access it, even if you have no actual local network {more than one computer connected} and even the supposed protection of a router]? http://peoplescounsel.orgfree.com/re..._net_basic.htm http://peoplescounsel.orgfree.com/re...ts_install.htm http://peoplescounsel.orgfree.com/re.../firewalls.htm http://peoplescounsel.orgfree.com/re...NETWORKING.htm http://peoplescounsel.orgfree.com/re...ty/spyware.htm http://peoplescounsel.orgfree.com/re.../antivirus.htm -- MEB http://peoplescounsel.orgfree.com ________ |
