Darn my memory!!!
I am sorry to tell you that I have experienced this exact problem on a PC that I had to work on, but I can not recall the fix that we used!!!! That PC was fine until the user tried to search on a search engine (or do a search on ebay) and then it rebooted!
Just to be safe, have you run an anti-virus on it?
By chance, are you using dail-up (modem on the phone line)? If so, what ISP? For some reason, I want to say that I recall a dialup service like AT&T or MSN being a culprit!
I could be way off base here--like I said, you are jogging my memory. I will try to figure out what it was, but in the meantime, any additional info you could give would be helpful!!! Mudskipper
