Cyril, what makes you think it's your cable modem? Does this happen when you click on shutdown & instead you get a restart? Sorry if I seem hard headed. If it is happening on its own I'm thinking its your power settings. Do you know how the bios is set up or how you have them in ME?

OS is Windows ME..
