Hi

My computer sometimes resets when I try to cancel a dial-up connection.

Last time i wasn't connected to the internet and i opened MS Outlook Express. Then it prompted to connect and it started dialing, i clicked "Cancel" button. And the computer reset. Later when i logged in I took the same steps but it didn't reset. But i remember this resetting happened for a few times earlier.

What could be the reason for thi resetting?
Does any body have any ideas?

Thanks.
