Well the other day I was using my computer to play World Of Warcraft, when out of hte blue my computer shut-off and restarted. After logging back into my computer upon loading windows my computer again shut-off and restarted. I later found out that this would only occur when my linksys usb wireless-g network adapter successfully connected me to my broadband connection. My computer will remain on and functioning if i am not connected to the internet, any suggestions?

Sounds like you have a corrupt driver installed? Have you made sure that you have the latest drivers, and also the latest firmware installed for your Linksys router?

Yes I do have the updates, but I have also found that the same problem occurs when connecting with 56k connection as well.
