Ok and you know rules about this. It require you post what model it custom computer or dell or HP? Can you tell us what you see when turn on computer and did pop error or just show me window then frozen or shut down then turn on again?
P.S. Is that computer on online?

Start by checking out the WINDOWS SHUTDOWN & RESTART CENTER WINDOWS MILLENNIUM EDITION

You'll especially enjoy reading this:

Microsoft has formally acknowledged that there is a shutdown and restart problem in Windows Millennium.

Cool

Yup, see above. And now that Me is formally an Orphan OS, we can no longer provide assistance for it...

It happened after we switched from dial-up to DSL. It's an HP computer. No error messages occur. It's just when we shut down, it starts back up.

Sounds like a network adapter issue. Check the link I posted.

Ok did you get right driver?
If it not driver issues
Then you use google search for Spybot, lava soft Adware, and AVG free edition.
Try in safe mode it will work.
Hope it work.
