When my PC and monitor goes to sleep, my internet connection is doing it too! How do I stop that happening?

Stop the computer from sleeping.  The screen saver is ok to come on but don't let it sleep.\n\nControl Panel --> Display or\nRight click on Desktop, choose properties.\n\nGo to Screen Saver tab, click on Power.\n\nGive it NEVER on, System Standby and System Hibernate and Turn off Harddisk.\n\nYou can give some time till monitor turn off (it's ok to leave that on)

Yes.\n\nIn addition to the post below, sometimes you may have to unplug the modem, disable network adapter, follow the instructions in the answer below, then turn off the computer for a while.

Wow. I have my son on a seperate computer to avoid this problem.\n\nHere's what to do....\n\n1) Be behind a router/firewall device. Having NAT (Network Address Translation) cures many of your problems.\n\n2) Get the free Microsoft Anit-Spyware software. It's free and pretty effective. I use it. \n\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=435bfce7-da2b-4a6a-afa4-f7f14e605a0d&displaylang=en\n\n3) Get antivirus software. Obviously. I use Norton and it seems to work just fine. You can get that just about anywhere.\n\n4) Get something to monitor your PC when you're not using it. I use this...\n\nhttp://watersaffl.PCPANDORA.hop.clickbank.net/\n\nand it works fine. It records the display every 15 seconds (or whatever interval you set) and you can go back to see exactly what happend when you were away. It works well and and has a small footprint.\n\nGood luck!

try CPU (processor) cooler there is an sensor under the cpu socket on the mainboard so when the cpu gets hot it turn`s off the pc and wont turn it back on until it gets cooled down,since you power it manualy

there are mutiple possibilities, your RAM might be buggerd, or your internet modem is doing somthing to your computer, there are more ways but i cant think as i would need to see the comp myself

If the problem is actually caused by the internet connection, then that means you must have wake-on-ring either in the bios or by jumper on the card and someone is using your phone to turn your PC on.  While this is possible, it's very unlikely.  Most likely there is some electrical short inside the pc, where metal is touching metal where it shouldnt, and just enough static charge has to build up over a few hours, which then turns the machine on.  Verify wake on ring is disabled and then dust out your machine (with an aerosol can that only blows, do not use a vacuum or feather duster) and verify physical cable connections.  If it continues take the machine to a shop and have the power supply checked.

I think you computer went into stand-by mode. To disable standby, Go to Start>Control Panel>Power Options.\n\nUnder Power Options properties, set power schemes to 'Always On'. You shouldn't have anymore problem after doing this.

Go look at your power settings in the control panel and disable standby.\n\nWhat happens when you use the start button to shut down the computer?  SOmetiomes viruses and bad stuff will hang during shutdown. Make sure your antivirus software is up to date and running.

Having your PC lock up every time you get on the Internet points to a problem with your TCP/IP stack or software that uses it. My guess would be that you've downloaded some malware of some sort. Could be a virus or spyware or adware... I bet some malware is activated when Internet Explorer starts and it is causing the lock up. \n\nYou get this stuff loaded onto your PC by accepting all the 'free' stuff that you see on many pages. Free search bars. Free downloads. Free screensavers, etc. Avoid that kind of stuff.\n\nYou can get a free scan with any of these products, but if bad stuff is found, you'll actually have to purchase it to enable the 'clean my PC' functions. \n\nGood luck!\n\nhttp://watersaffl.NOADWARE.hop.clickbank.net/\nhttp://watersaffl.TREKBLUE8.hop.clickbank.net/

Your PC is shutting off, because you have two or more Anti-virus programs installed and they are not compatible.\nYou need \n1 Ad-Aware\n2Anti-virus\nand a good firewall

your pc may be having a problem with 'standby' or 'hybernation' mode.  Just power-off the PC.  If this problem reoccurs, then you can dis-able standby and/or hybernation mode.\n\nthe control is located in start---control panel--power settings.
