Virus?

[Q Wu]

Hi,

One day, I started having problems connecting to the
internet, and occasionally the computer would restart
while I was trying to connect.

I figured it was a virus, so I updated my virus program
and updated my Win XP (Home) with all the patches.
However, the virus program finds no viruses.

I went into the "Services" program, and under Remote
Procedure Call, changed the "what to do when service
fails" to "restart service" from "restart computer".

I even tried to install the windows patches by logging
into the "Administrator" account through "Safe Mode".

I even went to the virus program websites and downloaded
the specific virus remover programs for Blater and
Welchia. No luck!

I still have a hell of a time connecting to the net... it
either restarts my computer (say 1 in 10 tries), or it
doesn't connect, or it connects but I can't "do" anything
and it disconnects in a minute or so.

Any advice?
thanks

check the event log, check startup programs (in msconfig too)
check hardware.
