Unexpected shutdown
After 2 trouble free years my computer now suddenly shuts down within
several minutes of having a Linksys wireless network adapter attached to a USB port. The network adapter works fine up to the moment of shutdown and the computer works fine til the network card is attached. Also the network adapter causes no problems on other computers. I have deactivated the antivirus programs and reloaded the drivers to no avail. My suspicions are power supply and mother board. Computer specifications are as follows: Chaintech CT-7NJL6 Motherboard AMD Athlon XP 3000+ 550 Watt SurePower Power Supply 1GB RAM SoundBlaster Live! 24-bit Sound Card GeForce FX 5500 256 MB AGP Video Card Western Digital 160 and Western Digital 80 GB Hard drives Dominator 52X CD-RW drive Toshiba 16X Dual Layer DVD +/- RW drive Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks |

Linksys adapter may be drawing too much power for the USB chip on your motherboard. Connect a powerd hu(9with its own power supply) to the system and connect the adapter to the hub. Mike. |

Thanks very much...there are no IRQ conflicts. Will try a self-powered hub. I already have 2 nonfunctioning USB ports. Richard |
