Reading through that thread... it seems to be more than your internet.
Do you mean your PC stops responding? The whole OS no longer responds to Keyboard or mouse commands?
Thanks,
I am a little confused about what is actually happening with the PC. When this occurs, selecting "Shutdown" from the start menu, does nothing?
What conditions does this happen under? Meaning, the PC has been running fine for X amount of time and then everything just stops or things don't even stop?
I then also seem unable to do anything else on the computer.
Remove 1 stick of memory, see if the clears it up, if not, swap them back out.
Get memtest from www.memtest.org try running that to see if the ram is bad also.
Just to confirm with you that I have laptop with vista. 2gb of memory?
THIS. Holy mother of crap, THIS. That and Dell components in the last few models have been garbage. We've been replacing stuff left and right these days, all on machines that are a year or younger.
Also does this only happen when you are working on the net. What if you are just playing music, games etc.....
I will keep you informed.
Thanks,
I'll let you know the usage next time the problem occurs.
I tried Mozilla and I get the same problems.
Any mor ideas?
Follow This Article it explains several methods of repairing the tcp/ip stack protocol.
The problem now is we are just trouble shooting issues so it's a bit of a crap-shoot as to what the real problems is.
If you want to trouble shoot your hardware vs your operating system, I suggest you get a copy of Ubuntu it's a live linux system. What that means if you don't know is that once you've burned the image to cd. You boot up your computer with the cd in the drive and it'll launch and run linux off the cd without touching your system. If everything works then you don't have a hardware issue. If you still experience the same problems you do.
If the problem arises again I will come back to here.
Thank you for your help.
Thanks again.
Not entirely true. If you had some malformed cookies or caches files it could screw up your internet explorer sessions, specially if you use the default IE settings that keeps 1gb of history pages !$!@$!@$.
However where that logic fails down is that regardless of how screwed up IE got from history and cookies I can't think of any way in which it could impact a clean Firefox install. Actually scratch that, I can't remember now if you follow the default Firefox install and let it import your IE settings if it sucks in your cookies/cache as well or if it's just bookmarks. If it sucks in cache/cookies it could screw up FireFox as well.
Why bother pointing it out?
I have vista home premuim sp1.
