internet freezes

DrBejar · 06 Apr 2011

Whenever I get on the internet it freezes maybe every minute. I can still control the mouse but everything else is frozen. It stays that way for about 15 seconds and then unfreezes and I can go back to working. Nothing closes or crashes, it just freezes. I use mozilla firefox. I read somewhere that it might be add-ons crashing that make it freeze so I tried disabling all the addons but it still freezes. How can I fix this?
Should I just use IE9?

Check your Anti Virus to see if that is causing it - Norton is particularly notorious for this. :)

It's been working fine since I started to use IE9 and it only stoped working about two times.

Perhaps a 'System Restore' to a date before it began to happen would rectify the problem.

It's starting to freez again on IE9, what should i do?

See if the problem still occurs if you run IE9 in safe mode with no add-ons.

It's still doing the same thing.

You might try another browser...Firefox or Google Chrome and see if you have same problem.
Might be your ISP connection. Have you tried rebooting(disconnecting all cables from ISP provider) then restarting your computer?

Same problem in Firefox & Google Chrome.
Connecting it right from the moden and same thing.
Yes, I also disconnected it and restarted it.

If it's an ISP problem you might try resetting winsock. According to Microsoft the winsock protocol is used by Windows to communicate with other computers and to access resources on the Internet, such as e-mail and Web sites. I had intermittent loss of connectivity last year and these were the things I tried. Ultimately I had to get a different brand modem to solve the connectivity issue. :
