My internet keeps freezing, can someone help me figure out why?

Question

Whenever I am on a site where a link opens a second page or MediaPlayer, it will work 3 or 4 times and then freeze up. What is causing this? It never used to do this. It just started in the past few days. I have anti-virus programs and daily updates on it so it isn't a virus. Any help would be great.

Answer 1

Optimize Internet Explorer. To do this, follow these steps:
a. Click Start, click Run, type iexplore.exe , and then click OK.
b. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
c. On the General tab, click Use Blank.
d. Click Delete Cookies, and then click OK.
e. Click Delete Files, and then click OK.
f. Click Settings, and then click View Objects.
g. On the Edit menu, click Select All.
h. On the File menu, click Delete, and then click Yes.
i. Close the Downloaded Program Files window, and then click OK.
j. Click Clear History, and then click Yes.
k. On the Security tab, click the Internet icon under Select a Web content zone to specify its security settings, and then click Default Level.
l. Click the Local intranet icon under Select a Web content zone to specify its security settings, and then click Default Level.
m. Click the Trusted sites icon under Select a Web content zone to specify its security settings, and then click Default Level.
n. Click the Restricted sites icon under Select a Web content zone to specify its security settings, and then click Default Level.

Note In steps k through n, the specified Default Level button may appear dimmed. In this case, Internet Explorer is already using the recommended settings.

If you open more then one website at at time it will confuse your computer and cause it to freeze up so if your doing that then you might want to stop. Maybe your hard drive is over heating. Try going to a computer expert and asking them. Have you tried turning it off for awhile and turning it back on? Sometimes that helps.

Answer 3

That happened to me once. I think it might be virus, do you have norton antivirus because that doesn't cover for spyware and adware. If thats not the problem, it is probably because of a new internet you installed. Try installing Mozzila Foxfire, it is the best. From This site: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/

Another problem might be your internet connection.

Answer 4

Try getting Firefox, it is much more stable than Internet Explorer, so it shouldn't have problems.

>>Having too much stuff saved on your computer has nothing to do with it. The hard drive, which is where you save stuff, is completely seperate from the RAM and the CPU, which affects how the computer performs.

Answer 5

I assume that you mean your computer freezes and you have to reboot. If this is correct, it could be a video driver that's not up to date or corrupted. Make sure your version of Windows and IE are up to date and check for a more current version of your video driver.

Good Luck

Answer 6

Go to tools,options,and click remove all cookies.

Cookies are little pieces that are stored on your computer until you delete them,and can slow down your internet.
Deleting them will make things a bit faster,and won't freeze.

Good Luck.
