System locks when accessing Internet

[Guest Tony]

I have a Windows 98 System that has been reformatted, it was

reformatted because you could play gameson the computer for hours, but

when you try to get on the internet you get between 10-20 of internet

access then the computer locked up. Lights go off on network card,

monitor does not receive a signal and you have to turn the power off

from the power supply to get it to restart. At first I was thinking

overheating but you can run the system all day just do not access the

the internet. So then Ithought bad network card. Tried a different

one and still have same issue. So I considred driver errors, went out

and downloaded all the latest drivers for every piece of hardware in

the system, reformatted again and stil lhaving the same issue.

 

Am I down it it just being something bad on motherboard. I even went

as far as to try a different browser in cxase is ws an issues of

memeory useage by Internet Explorer!

 

 

Any ideas?

Gary has one angle in the other thread you created, so let me take a

different tact in this one.

 

If, in fact you have no heat or physical connection issues:

 

What do you have installed as your protection against Internet attacks?

How secure is your network [keep in mind: the Internet IS part of your

network when you access it, even if you have no actual local network {more

than one computer connected} and even the supposed protection of a router]?
