to try that again,,,i put the wired back on, restarted (it didnt even restart it powered off) restarted again, powered on with the wire in, when loading windows it powered off again,.,

so i restareted windows again without the ethernet wire, and it starts up normally logs into windwo's fine etc etc,,,however i do get a mcafee issue,,so am wondering whether it could some sort of virus of some sort,,but it shouldnt really affect the pc powering on and off should it?

so i think that could have sold the problem, issue is, why all of a sudden?.,,,,and when i put the wire back in when i am logged into window's i can put the wire back in and surf the net as normal..really strange, i couldnt rollback the drivers, because there werent any,,,not sure what to do here.
Hi there,

just a thought but have you tried to update your BIOS, just a thought but I'm sure in my BIOS there's a setting for POST CHECK LAN CABLE(Enable/Disable) etc....!!!!!


And I'm thinking from what you describe above, that it could have something to do with your problem if your BIOS is corrupted in some way and is making a mess of the values for the CHECK LAN CABLE during POST, and so is causing your PC to not BOOT Windows, but then removing the LAN Cable, is changing the values for the LAN CABLE CHECK during POST allowing you to BOOT, then once Windows has booted and you re-connect the LAN cable it's fine until the next time you come to run POST with the cable connected.....

So try looking in your BIOS for the settings for POST CHECK LAN CABLE and disabling it....

If that doesn't work try updating your BIOS

Hope this is all making sense....!!!!!

It's just a theory....but seems to be reasonable based on your description of the symptoms.....

GOOD LUCK

And please let me know if it helps....

Thanks

Kaz
