Laptop Freeze

Recommended Posts

Did something change recently? Did you update your Internet Explorer version?
How are you connected to the internet? Via wifi?
There are two things you could do for clarifying the reason.
1) See if your browser is faulty : use a portable version of firefox, get it from here : http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable
2) Try booting on a Linux LiveCD, and see if you are able to open the internet during more than one minute under Linux. If you don't remember how to get and use a liveCD Linux, follow MC's tutorial you will find here http://forums.xisto.com/topic/56842-how-to-install-fedora-18-step-by-step-guide-with-screen-shots/

simply use the "try Fedora" part, and not the "install" part, you will be able to surf without installing.

What version of Windows? What version of Internet Explorer? What's your specs on your laptop? cpu, memory, free space, graphics, etcExplain this freeze, does it just hang for a minute or so then comes back or does it completely lock up forcing to shutdown/reboot. Does this only happen when using IE? How often can you reproduce this freeze? Do you know how to check your CPU level, if so, put it up and open IE and see if it takes 100% CPU, this would mean something IE is doing is using all available CPU to load some things which is why if would feel like it's frozen. This means you need to stop whatever it is that is blocking.My first thoughts is if it's only IE causing this, you need to ensure that you're free from viruses and malware/spyware, do you have tools to check/clean your system? If another program can cause it as well, what program is it? Have you got the latest updates incase it's been fixed. If still no improvement, a reinstall/repair of IE might be needed.Cheers,MC
