This is a puzzling thing which seems to be connected to my broadband connection, I just want to know what it could be.
A couple of weeks or so ago I lost my broadband connection which was around the same time the bloke on the phone told me he was sending a hit to my STB (when I enquired about the speed upgrade) now not only had it knocked off my connection altogether but I found my PC on the blue screen critical error or whatever you call it. I asked the tech support about this when trying to get my connection back and he denied that it would be anything to do with NTL (we also got my connection back while on the phone)
Thought nothing more of it until last night when watching tv and having the PC downloading in the background. Suddenly my STB goes off, as does the other 2 in the house. I then notice there's no interactive signal so I knew it was one of those faults, and sure enough the broadband has gone too as everything on here grinds to a halt. Now the next weird thing, I leave my PC running and after a little while I get a sudden blue screen serious error again. So I reboot because I think I'll mess about with a PC game or do something offline on my PC, 10 minutes in another blue screen serious error. I do the same thing again and yep you guessed it, after 5 or 10 minutes I get another one.
It was at this point that I gave in, one out of frustration and one because I'm scared of doing any damage to my PC or files etc. So can someone tell me what the hell is going on?? It has to involve NTL seeing as both times have been when my connection has gone off for one reason or another, and the PC has been fine at all other times and is fine again now this morning since the connection came back at some point in the night. I'm not happy about this seeing as I couldn't even do anything on my PC offline without it crashing to blue screen and me panicking about something major happening.
Any help would be appreciated.
