Well here is a strange problem. Sometime ago (like 1 month) I started to get random reboots. I thought it was the heat so I sinked it with Artic Silver 3 that lowered the temp on the CPU alot but I rememberd that my computer turns it off if its get overheated and doesn't reboot. I also ran a memtest 86+ and found no error what so ever but I still thin the DDR 293 is odd. Maybe just because I got a celeron. By the way, the problem ONLY accure when I do something with the network example, installing Hamachi or Protowall. Or removing Protowall driver. Also when I installed VMWare I got a reboot. Maybe its my network card inbuilt on the Mobo that is starting to die or just some stange Windows shit going on? Or maybe its the PSU? Help is appirated. Celeron 2.8 - Socket 478 P4C800-E Deluxe HyperX 533mz 512x2 (two HyperXs) Nvidia 5700 (Asus 9750 or something is it called) PSU 550W Q-Tec

Take one of the HyperX dimms out and try to make the computer reboot with one memory module at a time. If it fails with one and not the other, then one of the memory modules is bad. Also, if you're overclocking, try going back to stock speeds. Funny things happen to PCI devices like network cards when the PCI bus is at a higher clock speed.

No use... I have run a Memtest 86+ all night... 29 passes, no errors.

I believe it might be Kaspersky Anti-Hacker. I heard another threat that firewalls can f**k the networkcards.
Because someone hade the same problem and he used Zonealarm. Same memories and stuff but when he removed Zone Alarm. All was gone.

So I drive without now. Else I will try to remove one dimm and test that.
Also I tried both overclocked and stock. But when I run overclocked everything works
better.

By the way... the network card is inbuilt so I don't use a PCI device for the network. But its just so odd that it reboots when I touch the network and nothing else. I can stress with with Winrar and everything but when I TOUCH the network then it dies... so strange

EDIT
Found the problem! Kaspersky Anti-Hacker!
Now I manage to run Windows Update so I got the latest patches, install Protowall, Hamachi and VMWare! It doesn't die! =)

Thanks for your help anways! =)
