Modem Adapter Card

Computer shuts down when I connect my cable modem through the ethernet cable Window 2000 Help

have an Asus K8U-X with an onboard ULi PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter.The other evening our electricity went out a couple of times. I was able toturn the computer just fine with no adverse problems. The computer andperipherals are plugged into surge suppressors, so I didn't expect anyproblems to occur. The following morning, the computer would turn on butnothing would happen as if everything but the cpu or everything but the harddrive or video card was working.To troubleshoot the problem, I unplugged from the computer all unnecessary peripherals to see if I could find out if I might be able to get thecomputer to boot up. The first time I got a message to go into the cmos or

start with default settings. Even with that the computer would not start upproperly. So I pulled the box and opened it up to check the fans andconnections to make sure nothing had come loose over time. I vacuumed outall of the dust bunnies and cleaned my memory sticks and video card. I tookout the fans and cleaned the dust off of them and the cpu heatsink. I then cleared the cmos according to my mb manufacture's instructions to see if I could get the computer to start up again. After restoring the essential components, before closing the box back up, I hooked up my computer and started it to make sure the fans were working properly and the storage drives were all in working order. I was able to get to the login screen with no problem, so I put the system back together and turned everything on. The computer booted up, but shut down before it got to the login screen and would not start back up. I unplugged the Ethernet cable from the computer at which time, the computer tried to start itself up with no success. I unplugged it from the electricity for 30 seconds, and tried again without the Ethernet connected. It started up, and I was able to log in. While logged in, I connected the Ethernet cable with success, but when I switched on the cable modem, the computer shut down.I then disconnected the power cable from both the modem and the computer for 30 seconds. I removed the Ethernet cable completely and connected the USB cable instead. I switched on my computer and it booted up perfectly, and I was able to log on and surf the net again.

I then contacted my ISP to discuss this problem. The tech had me bring the modem and Ethernet cable to the nearest office the next day to get new equipment. Unfortunately, the computer still shuts down when I connect the Ethernet cable and turn on the modem. While my suspicion is that the on board Ethernet adapter is fried (probably because of the dust bunnies), I am hoping someone here might no if it might just be a setting I am overlooking. Otherwise, I will just cut my losses and get a new Ethernet card to connect to my computer. All drivers are up-to-date, and there are no IRQ conflicts or sharing that are interfering. I also removed my old phone line modem that is no longer
