Comuter shutting down. Please help?

When connect to my DSL connection and on Skype my computer is shutting down within a minute.

But when I work without internet no problem. The speeds are normal. Is it a virus? or something else.

Re-load windows or system restore from the disk. If you don't have a system restore disk, call the place where you bought the computer and ask them for the 800 manufacturer support number where you can buy one. I got one for $11 and it came fast. Then find out from online manufacturer live support what the procedure is for doing a "manufacturer system restore". HP told me that is the only way to get rid of viruses…not just using the system restore disk, but the correct procedure to do a manufacturer's system restore. They emailed me the instructions.

[To get to BIOS, constantly press DEL key once computer is started.]

[ If it doesn't boot from the CD, you may need to change your boot priority. You can do that in the BIOS setup. That's the menu you can get to by hitting Delete (or sometimes F2 or different keys depending on the machine), at the very beginning of a boot up.

I think the Dell key is F2. The HP key is F1.

Just make sure that the CD drive comes before the hard drive in boot priority.]
