    Bad idea. Use something like this, even if you have only one PC
    http://www.draytek.co.uk/products/vigor2100v.htm
    Together with
    http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/
    and
    http://www.hijackthis.de/
    And set up a user account on the PC instead of running as administrator if
    you haven't already.

    In the meantime Start, Control panel, Switch to classic view, Power options.
    Is everything except the monitor set to Never?

    Is the cable modem connected to the PC using usb?
    If it is then changing it to ethernet is likely to fix the problem.
    But don't connect the modem directly to the PC. Get a box as described above
    and put it between the modem and the PC.
