My computer keeps freezing when I go on the internet, does anybody know how to fix this?

Question

I tried to reformat the hard drive to use Windows XP Pro, but it kept freezing up on me and I wasn't able to reformat. I tried to reformat it using Windows 2000, and although I was able to do that, once I started using it for awhile, the computer froze on me. Then I changed the hard drive and I reformatted this new hard drive. The computer is still freezing. I don't know if there is something I can do to fix this problem.

Answer 1

1: you do make sure you call your (isp) or this will happen
is your pc still slow & your internet you have done a full system scan
with your anit virus /anti spyware you even defragmenter your hard drive
done a scan disk but your pc is still slow and your internet is not as good
then you need to check your router it dont mater what router you have

people in the vicinity is on your network

you call your (isp)
GET THIS SET TO DISABLED

(GAMES & APPLICATION SHARING )
it dont matter what router you have you need to get
(GAMES & APPLICATION SHARING ) set to disable

is your router safe?
you need to call your (isp) server
they have to get you in to your router home page
then from there ..copy & paste the router home page
into a notepad then save that to a back up cd

now from there they have to take you to the part
where (GAMES & APPLICATION SHARING ) is
then you click on ( GAMES & APPLICATION SHARING) icon
then at the top of the page on the right your see
configure.. you click on configure
then you .. UN-TICK .. the box ( GAMES & APPLICATION SHARING)
that is ticked there ...
then you click look down the page your see
<<<
if you have a wireless router
and then ask them where you set up a wpa-security key dont use a 128bit wep key ask to use a wpa- security that is your router security key and you pick the wpa-security key not your (isp)server . just ask them where you set one up they will say use a wep-key ..ignore them you say your going to use a wpa.key and want to know how to set one up and remember you pick the wpa-key not your (isp)server or they will use your network

now you close off the page
and clean out your internet address bar

Answer 2

if you can install windows, and run other applications then your hardware is OK, the main problem is in some virus or spyware, try checking your PC for it.

Answer 3

It could be your RAM...use MemTest86 to check it.
