Title: laptop net connection and restart problem (sony vaio w/vista)
Post by: geeray on August 15, 2009, 06:04:09 AM
the computer is a Sony Vaio and operates on windows Vista.

we use satt internet with a wireless router.  The computer has been updated on virus issues and will connect to the net fine most of the time. but after being idol for a while the net will loose connection yet the wireless card is pickiing up router and there is no issues with the actual satt connection.  Normally I have to restart the computer and the connection comes back with no problems.  Though alot of the times the laptop will not fully restart.  It goes to a screen saying "computer restarting" and will just sit there and never restart.. I have to turn the power off and back on. Then the operating system comes to the black screen and asks if i want to start in normal mode or safe mode.  I click normal mode and it starts back up fine until the net locks up again.. It usually runs fine as long as i dont sit idle long enough for the screen saver to come up.  Any help on the issue is would be appreciated.

yes i went thru the steps of cleaning up viruses on this site.  I have malwarebyte, SAS, and AVI virus protection.. All should be up to date.  I posted those logs before and used CCcleaner and HiJack this.  I recently pasted my hijack this logs on the database thing on this site.  Got good feedback from that.
