Now the only problem i have is i didn't order a floppy drive when i bought everything..and my ethernet card came with a floppy disk lol, So i bought a floppy disk and i can't get it to work. So i can get online through the onboard LAN or whatever on the motherboard, But after like 5 minutes a get an error and it gives me 35 seconds to save any unsaved work and it shuts the whole system down. But if i'm not online it's fine, So once i get the floppy drive working i can install the drivers for the ethernet card and hopefully that will fix the problem.
The error message was something like NT/Authority or something..but if it happens again..i will try to get the whole error next time..but i'm pretty optamistic that once i start using the ethernet card it won't happen...I hope.
I have never had an error that shuts my computer down after a certain amount of seconds though when it's connected to the internet.

That is a common worm (aka virus) exploiting a Windows security hole. Using the ethernet card won't help, you have to patch and remove it. I highly recommend setting up a firewall too. Connecting an unpatched Windows box to the internet without a firewall or at least behind NAT will get it compromised in minutes these days.
