I have Mcafee Firewall on both my PC and Laptop, and the settings are both on default. I don't think firewall is a problem, as the pc would be disconnecting aswell?

Still sounds like there's something running in the background that kicks in whenever the PC is idle. Next step is to Download Process Explorer:
http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/ProcessExplorer.html (download links are right at the bottom of the page)
It's basically a souped up version of Windows' task manager, it shows you exactly what programs are running and how much CPU time they are using in. Run it, press 'CTRL' and 'L' to remove the lower pane and just watch it for a while. See if you can find an app that's taking a lot of processor usage.
The most common cause of a PC restarting itself intermittantly is faulty memory. If the comp has got two sticks of memory in it, try taking one out and see if it rectifies the fault. If it doesn't, take the other one out, replace the first and try again. Obviously, if it's only got one stick in you'll have to try and obtain a stick cheaply from somewhere or take it in to a repair shop.

brownlad007's suggestion is worth a try, but before you do that, the first thing to check is windows power management options for the wireless card in the laptop.
Right-click on 'my computer' and select 'properties'. Click on the 'Hardware' tab and then click the 'device manager' button. Click on the little plus sign (+) next to 'Network adapters' and find the entry for your wireless card. Right-click on it and select 'properties'.
Now click on the 'power management' tab and uncheck the box that says 'Allow windows to turn off this device to save power'.
See if that makes a difference, if not give us a shout

hi, i am having a problem with my modem which i need sorting, please can somebody help. Well, the problem is that about 80% of the time my modem will not load, It is an Sagem fast 800-840 usb adsl modem. When it is loading a light on the modem itself flashes and when it has loaded it stays lit. It just keeps flashing and reseting before it loads.
Also on screen i some times get a message saying 'insufficient bandwidth' and it says the modem will adjust the bandwidth but it doesnt make a difference.
Does anybody know what the problem may be and how to fix it? iv tried all the obvious like disconnecting and reconnecting, re-installing and updating drivers. thanks very much guys

First thing would be to (if possible) try different cables, both the USB cable from the modem to the PC and the cable(s) that connect to the phone line.
Then, you'd need to speak to your ISP I think. There could be a problem with your line or the modem itself might be faulty, particularly if it's the ADSL signal light that keeps flashing rather than the power or connected lights (if your modem has them).
If all of that checks out, you might be looking at the dreaded reinstall of the operating system, but speak to your ISP first and explain that you've already tried all of the obvious things.

Right done what you said but still a little confused. See pic and see if you can see if anything is running which i dont need.
It seems strange that when i restart the pc a few times it suddenly works fine.
(thanks for all your help so far)
