Browser not working, litterally tried everything!!!
i have a Sony Vaio laptop with Window 7 home premium. ive had this laptop for years and this problem has never came up, yesterday the internet was working fine and the out of nowhere the webpages stopped loading, nothing would work, there was just a white screen and the loading sign going anti-clockwise. i tried system restore to a couple of days back but that didnt fix it, i also ran the following through the command prompt pconfig /flushdns, ipconfig /release, ipconfig /renew, netsh winsock reset, netsh int ip reset but that didnt work either, i have unplugged and reconnected cable modem and wireless router numerous times. i turned off windows firewall and disabled norton and mcfee to see if that had any affect but it didn't fix the problem either. in the end i decided to do the full recovery of the laptop back to factory settings which would get rid of any viruses, after the recovery the problem was still there n the browser i was using (firefox) got deleted and google chrome was automatically downloaded due to the recovery process. the only site that seems to be working is sevenforums, ive tried pinging websites too and using proxies but nothing will load, also i cant download anything whether its my old browser or antivirus programmes. i checked the internet connection and it was completely normal so i thought it might be a temporary issue therefore i left it over night but it didnt go away, another thing that isnt working is skype, every time i try to sign in, it takes forever to load and then in the end just says "skype can't connect", all the other devices such as my ipad, phone even the internet on the xbox seem to be working fine, its just the laptop. please help!!! thanx
