In reply to Lena. 1. Go to your computer's manufacturer support site and download the drivers from the Network Adapter. 2. Then from Device Manager Uninstall the Network Adapter. 3. Reboot your pc and see if Windows has installed the Network Adapter. If not, use the downloaded driver to install it.

Hi, I went through the steps and found no issues. That’s good. But my original issue was I was trying to stop the DHCP client and restart to try and fix an internet issue I’m having. Any next steps you can suggest? Thanks

In reply to Predated_Ash. @Predated_Ash: If your system is clean, then try the following: 1. Perform a clean boot and if your system works normally (in clean boot mode), re-enable one-by-one the disabled startup programs and services until you find out which one causes the problem. 2. Use the CPUID HWMonitor utility and ensure that your system is not overheated, otherwise clean it from dust 3. Diagnose the HDD for errors 4. Diagnose the Memory (RAM) for problems.

Hi, after all these steps, my Win7 Starter still auto shutdown when booting in normal mode. Only when using safe mode it doesn't immediately turn off on its own. So where's the problem though if it's not the adware, malware, or virus?

In reply to Dunechair. @Dunechair: I suggest to create a Windows a Windows 8.1 installation media and perform a fresh Windows installation. Have you tested your RAM for errors? (How to Test & Diagnose RAM Memory problems)

Hi Lakonst, You have written a thorough article. But I think my problem is different. I have tried upgrading my Toshiba P75 PC on Win 8.1 by installing Crucial memory chips, but my PC initially appears to run normally, then it crashes and reboots itself after a "PC Ran Into a Problem and Needs To Restart" due to numerous different error messages such as "Pen_List_Corrupt" and "Kmode_Exception_Not_Handled". When I remove the upgrade, the PC runs fine. I've run Verifier. Any suggestions would be appreciated, Thank you, Dunechair

In reply to lakonst. All done (but 'deploy.static.akamaitechnologies' is still sucking my bandwidth!!). I think I'm going to have to make time to do the 'clean boot and disable...'! Thanks for your help.
