| maybe there's a problem with wireless' drivers OR it overheats in your apartment and it shuts down.. coz sitting next to you is not a simple thing...
you're a hell of a hot guy trololol :P
What happens if she has the wireless turned off? | |

What happens if she has the wireless turned off? it's not about wireless , cause even if it's on but she isn't connected to the internet everything is fine, but the moment she connects it restarts (like 3-4 seconds later) | |

| Open task manager and observe if a process opens when she connects on the internet...If not try uninstalling any program that is not in use. Probably it is a virus and maybe it needs format - Spoiler:
Small question:Does she have more than 1 antivirus on her pc?(Recently corrected a similar problem in a girls computer cause she had over 3 antiviruses in the same pc :lol!: )
