Why does my computer suddenly shut all the way down the the bios setting ?

I switched to cable. DSL never did that to me. I even hooked back the DSL connection to be sure it wasn't my computer messing up. I never got hard booted once. As soon as I reconnected the cable and waited, it did it again. It shows I'm connected but doesn't connect to the Internet. I have to fiddle around with the repair connection and sometimes uninstall reinstall the wireless adapter untill I get it to work.

Anyone have any ideas why cable is booting me and DSL doesn't?

    First thing i would try is to open your Internet connections in the control panel and delete the DSL connection and retry. Your computer might be getting confused. If that doesn't work you might have to contact your ISP to make sure everything is setup correctly.

    Are you still using the same wireless router? If yes, the router probably isn't set up properly for your new connection. If not, it's probably a bad router, or the new router is set up enough like the old router to allow you to connect to it, but not enough like it to allow you to connect to the internet.
