My pc is restarting by itself. Only happens when im connected to the internet. Dont think its the hardware cuz the guy that made my pc already tested it and can find nothing wrong with it. Does anyone no?.....need more info just ask
Thank you

another thing is most the time it restarts is when im playing call of duty but my pc still restarts when im just connected to the net.
have you done a virus check? and when you say 'call of duty' is that online? or just the game itself?
can you post your spec and version of windows?
Its the online one but i've played the single player when online and it crashed. I've got Norton Internet Security 2005 and that can find nothing.
OS: Windows XP Pro with SP 2
CPU: AMD 64 bit 3200+
Motherboard: Foxconn 755/760A01
Graphics card: PowerColor Radeon 9600 Pro 256 Mb DDR
RAM: 2 x 256 @ 400 / 1 x 512 @ 333
Hard Drive: 1 at 80 GB / 1 at 160 GB
Right click my computer, properties, advanced tab, settings button in startup and recovery panel, uncheck 'automatically restart'. What error does it give next time it crashes?
To err is human. To really foul things up ... you need a computer.
Tryed that but this time it freezes. I was playing Half life 2 when online which leads me to believe that the problem is COD itself tho my pc has crashed when im not playing COD . There was one time when a message come up. It said a whole lot of stuff but in bold it said BUGCODE_USB_DRIVER. Very confusing.
What USB devices do you have attached?
Do you have any components overclocked?
Do you use ZoneAlarm firewall?

only thing is my ADSL modem. Nothing overclocked and never heard of ZoneAlarm firewall, i only use Norton firewall. tryed turning that off but still crashed.
ok it just crashed again and the same message come up BUGCODE_USB_DRIVER theres a code too which is ***STOP: 0x000000FE (0x00000005, 0x863630E0, 0x10397001, 0x86232A90)
I was turning up my volume at the time :-S
It's a bad/incompatible/incorrect driver/piece of software/piece of hardware in your system . Yep i know that is it could be anything, but it is most likely software. What drivers/software have you installed lately?
To err is human. To really foul things up ... you need a computer.
well it would have to be the drivers for my new motherboard.
Drivers for your new motherboard? Does this mean you installed a new motherboard without re-installing Windows?

yeah BUT lol on my new hard drive i made a fresh install of windows and still the problem remains =S
It could be overheating... for months I get getting blue screens referring to "usbport.sys" when playing games , or doing anything cpu intensive. Of course I went through the usual - updating drivers, reinstalling xp, removing usb devices etc.
Then one day I reseated my cpu and it magically it all stopped - the only thing I can think of that I did was applying to thick a layer of thermal compound. My temps dropped by around fifteen degrees after I reseated.
So check your temps. And BSODS dont really give agreat deal away so It may not be anything to do with what it refers to...
nah it cant be overheating cuz HL2 is playing fine but thx anywayz
ok now HL2 and Counter-Strike Source are crashing with the same error message
