| Thanks to all who responded. I found out what was causing my pc to reboot. It was indeed the modem! For some reason the ES PI-56 Data Fax modem, from ESS Technologies, was causing the problem with my pc. I changed the modem and all went well after that. | |

| Unfortunately there is NO EASY Fix for random resets. I would suggest reinstalling your software from scratch with the bare neccessities just to prune that branch out of the possibilities. This is a good idea if you have had the machine for a while anyways. After that start tearing into your hardware, the power supply and the memory are the two most likely suspects. You can test the memory but it is not always reliable - especially if the problem is intermittant - Problems always behave when you test for them!! Good Luck! |

| Hi, as far as the turn on witn phone rings, that is an option in bios, called wake on ring or something simular. You can disable it in bios. changeing the modem most likely will not fix that. What that is used for is so you can be away from home and call your number and log into the computer with out being there. It is not a malfunction, just a setting. Hope that helps |

|
| the connector for the floppy is standard BUT there is a red wire in the ide cable which must be the beside the red wire on the power cable. if the power cable is on the left side at the back of the floppy then often the ide cable is right beside it,. BUT if the power cable is on left side and there is a space between that and the ide the red cabble should be on the right side at the opposite edge in other words the ide cable is sometimes upside down, otherwise the bios will not detect it |

Don't take out your memory, download Goldmemory from the internet and TEST your memory.  Find your modem manufacturer and download the correct drivers for your operating system. FCC ID, or at worst the chip manufacturer. There is a bios setting, PCI Slot Configuration, 'PNP OS' should be YES (Windows does this) 'Controlled By' should be AUTO, and 'Reset configuration Data', set it to yes or enabled. This will reset your configuration and let windows handle the interrupt requests. These settings sometimes go away if you select 'Load Setup Defaults'. Don't forget to check the Device Manager if you haven't already. |

| If the powersupply is not normal it generates a reset signal to the processor. Go into controlpanel, system, hardware, devicemanager and look for any red crosses or yellow exclamation marks. if you have exclamation marks, double click it and see what it says. You can disable the device (it will then have a red cross) which is easier than taking it out of the computer Take the cover off and look at the fan on your processor, if it is full of dust, take the fan off carefully and vacuum out the cooling fins with a brush attachment. Make sure the fan turns easily and no cables are obstructing it. Make sure the fan in the powersupply is working too. Make sure your firewall is working properly and that you do not have any malware on your computer. Alt Ctrl Del and see what processes are running on your computer AVG should not cause this problem on it's own. |
