    Post Modem Reboots computer?

    Have an older system that every time that I try to dial out it causes the computer to rebot itself.

    Try it with a different modem. the one currently in the machine is probably just defective.

    I had the same thing happen with a old 486sx25, pulled the soundcard and end of reboots, bad soundcard.

    Just a thought

    Yes. See if it still reboots when you pull a card. then replace that card, and try another. If so, your power supply is a bit lean. Might want to check into replacing that.
