I have installed a new Linksys network adapter, and I had the problem of the computer restarting itself as well. However, I did note that if I held the power button in, to manually shutdown, then it wouldn't come on until I unplugged then plugged in the ethernet cable, then it would come back on again. The way I fixed this was a setting in the Power settings of my mainboard BIOS labeled "PCIPME Power Up Control". I switched that to disabled, and haven't had any trouble with it rebooting, either by just being off, or replugging the ethernet cable in.
