I have a very weird problem with a Gateway Select I have. When I try to connect to my dialup internet provider, during the handshake, the screen will go black, then the computer reboots. Sometimes, it will do this several times before i can get on the internet. Other times, it will never do it. It's very random. I have tried closeing every app running, and also updated the drivers to the latest version according to the gateway website. It's real annoying, so any help would be nice!

Hm....you try making sure the modem is securely in? MIght be a hardware problem - bad modem - if you've tried all the software troubleshooting you can. Reinstalling and uninstalling everything.

Also, have you tried dialing another number? maybe borrow your friend's isp info?
