XP on my laptop keeps shutting down....

[Guest]

everytime I dial into the web after only a minue of being online. I get a message "System shutting down due to NT Authority/System." Something to that effect. It's really frustrating. I know it has something to do with a security setting but I cant seem to pin point what change I need to make so the system won't keep shutting itself down. Anybody have a solution to this issue? Thanks, JGolem2529
