after about 20 minutes my conputer automatically restarts

misty,

If your computer is as new as you stated in your reply, take it back to the
mfg and have them fix it.

If for some reason my suggestion above is not practical, then post back with
the text (error message) you receive when the system reboots. . .assuming
your receive an error message.

misty/etal
deselect - 'automatically restart'
you have some good recommendations - and while those
are getting chk'd out - you might try this
ie
go start/control panel/perf...and maint/system/
go advanced tab/startup and recovery - section/
go 'settings'/system failure - section/
deselect - 'automatically restart'/
click - 'ok'/ click - 'apply'/
and
take it fr there

There is a setting in the BIOS on most systems called Wake on LAN or Wake on
Ring. This will cause the computer to restart when the telephone line it is
connected to receives a call. Consult your manual for information on how to
access the BIOS settings and disable this option.

I allways thought 'wake on ring' was designed to bring pc off standby in
order that the call be excepted by whatever software - my mistake?

ok i turned off the automatic restart, the error report
that finally showed up when it would restart said that a
device driver installed on my system is what was causing
it but that they couldnt track which one it was or why it
was doing it

What was the exact error message? This is important when diagnosing the
cause of the error.

You need to do some troubleshooting for this problem.

Go to Start/Run, type msinfo32 and press OK.

Go to Components/Problem Devices and see if anything is listed there. If it
is, this is likely that this is causing the problems.

If no joy, go back to Start/Run, type: eventvwr.msc and press OK. Click
on the System item and look for any Red X error messages there. Double click
the error message to see the details.
