My PC suddenly hangs and a clicking sound comes from my speakers. Sometimes it reboots for no reason.?

It only happens when connected to the Internet. I'd be grateful for any info on what's going on here. Thanks.

    If your computer hangs or reboots while you are working on it, it could be a problem with device drivers, hardware or software. This problem can be solved by uninstalling new softwares, updating device drivers and making minor configuration changes. Detailed instructions at http://tinyurl.com/yk5zpr

    There is nothing wrong with your connection or pc.

    check your RAM if it is 64 then increse RAM as you are using windows xp.

    clicking sounds are common

    for your shutting down the computer kindly active power management services which xp default gives.

    click on RUN

    write there msconfig

    GENERAL: normal startup

    Services: Hide all microsoft services and look at power manager active that option

    Reboot!

    This is a common problem with Windows XP without a service pack. It always shuts down the computer when you dial-up to the internet. Install windows xp service pack 2. Your problem will be solved. But I recommend, you back up your essential data and format the C: drive and install a Windows XP fresh copy with integrated Service pack 2. You can Download an ISO file of "Winxp + SP2" from http://www.files.lt/
