Windows 7 Crashing while browsing
Hi,
My Windows 7 home premium is crashing while browsing very frequently. I have Chrome set as my default browser and windows i fully updates. I tried installing Windows 7 as an upgrade and also by wiping the hard disk before, but I still have the same problem.
Also, i have to point out that I have the aBit airpace wireless card, and that doesn't support Windows 7, but I searched forums, and people said I could use a different driver for it and the internet will work, and so I did. I'm using the Atheros AR5006X Wireless Network Adapter (so is listed under Device Manager). But I doubt this is the problem.
-more details while browsing-
When 7 crashes,
the crash start by me not being able to close the tabs. I click on the x button but they don't close. Pages start taking a lot of time to load, and are stuck so I have to close the browser, wait some time, and fire it back up.
When it crashes then I have to wait some time for the browser to be able to start up again.
.. and this happens with both Chrome and Firefox. And IE too, but i'm not sure about that one.
Also, usually Windows Media Player start to skip when the crash start to occur.
I'd really like some help because it's driving me crazy,
thanks!
