Basically, my computer has been shutting off on its own. Sometimes I leave
it on overnight and come back in the morning and it is off. Also, I've been
getting stupid pop-ups and things of that nature.

The computer is working but cannot access the internet whatsoever...so I
cannot run any of those links that you listed below. I'm on a different
computer right now.

I tried a bunch of other things like net shell reset catalog and net shell
ip reset but nothing is working. The only real problem I am having is that I
cannot access the internet nor get any IP address assigned to the computer.
