LAN causes shutdown

[Ron O'Brien]

I have just replaced motherboard & processor
Mobo = ECS Elite K8M800-M2

Everything works fine ntil....I try to connect the LAN.

I insert the ethernet cable and start the PC, all runs ok for a few
minutes - or until I try to open IE - then the computer just shuts down - no
freezing, no blue screen, just shutdown.

Whatsmore, I have to wait 5-10 mins before it will start again, hitting the
on button before then results in nothing whatsoever.

If I take the ethernet cable out and re-start, everything works OK

Any ideas anyone?????

If you network card integrated into the mobo or a PCI slot card?

If it is a PCI card you may want to change PCI slot and/or check the
seating of the card so it is properly seated into the slot. Your problem
has hardware written all over it.

This sort of reminds me of what happens to an unpatched xp system that gets
on the internet. Within a few minutes its infected with the welchia virus
and it shuts down. Make sure the firewall is enable on this interface before
actually plugging it into the internet.
