That's pretty vague. Can you post a picture or be a little more descriptive?

everytime i get online after a minute or 2 the computer goes slow for a second and i think the desktop restarts but the screens stay up and on the bar at the botton the little computer icon that says in connect and the netscape accelerator icon disappear and everytime 2 minutes or so after that it restarts or whatever it does all the time while im online i have scanned my computer for adware and spyware and ran a anti virus on it is all good on that part but that still happens

What are the specs of the computer? Has it always been this way? If not, what do you think could have happened?

Computer make/model? Type of CPU? Amount of RAM? Which operating system,  etc. are  specs.

It is better to have some information than to just guess wildly about a solution.
