Computer Freezes While Browsing Internet With Chrome / Firefox Or IE
Aug 6, 2012
I have the following configuration on an assembled computer:
PHENOM II X4 + Gigabyte GA 88 GMA UD 2H
Seagate HDD 500GB Sata
DDR-3 Corsair x2
HD 6850
Cooler Master SMPS 500W
Windows 7 64-bit
My issue is that computer freezes when I browse the internet with Chrome, Firefox and Explorer. I can work with Explorer with one tab as of now - I can't open more than one because it freezes the entire computer in a minute or two after opening additional tabs. I have tried System Restore, Registry cleaner, defrag, anti virus scans Mbam scans etc but nothing works.
A few days ago I had shifted the computer to a warmer room and stupidly put the chassis next to an inverter which emits heat. I used to have freezes earlier but it was a rare occurrence maybe just 1-2 times a week - but yes it used to be there before. Opening many tabs as I wanted in chrome, firefox or explorer was never a problem earlier. I have the problem is only with internet browsing - playing videos, music, work on excel, ppt etc is no problem.
I randomly receive "server not found" while browsing on IE, Firefox, or chrome. A refresh or 5 usually does the trick. Even when that works most of the time the webpages arent fully displayed . Sometimes I'll have to reset the router and that is only a temporary fix. I've called Belkin, Geek squad ETC. exercised my options. Laptop is 2 mos old, (wifi). my desktop(wired) doesn't seem to have these issues.My iPhone 4 when using the wifi has the same random" server not found" issues.
I have a laptop from my company and I have a problem accessing the internet:- When I'm connected to my company network : everything works fine.I go on internet through IE, Chrome, Firefox etc.- But when I'm at home or in another company or my 3G usb stick:Only IE works for internet. Firefox and Chrome display error page like I wasn't connected to internet.It seems not related with browser's proxy setting. (I have tried all options and moreover, my home connection doesn't require proxy settings for example)
I upgraded my graphics card from GT 240 1GB GDDR5 to HD 7750 1GB GDDR5 in November 2012.But I am noticing a strange issue recently but have no idea whether the card has something to do with it.The problem occurs very rarely though it is annoying. During browsing using Mozilla Firefox, the Firefox freezes, then whole system freezes and returns to normal within seconds with a single beep sound from speakers/headphones. I have tried "turning off hardware acceleration" but still it occurs without that.There are no issues other this.Only freezes and returns to normal within seconds.
The driver version :Catalyst 12.8 {I have tried Catalyst 12.10 and even Beta version 12.11 but the problem exists in all drivers. But catalyst 12.8 seems to be stable with games and uses very low power while playing HD videos in my own benchmark. So I am using 12.8.} Mozilla Firefox version : 18.0 {The same issue was present in previous Firefox versions (17 series) and I haven't tried versions older than that due to security risk} Can anyone tell what the problem might be? Besides graphics card is stable and fur mark test run successfully with 65-70 degree C temp as highest.
Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit After downloading a file with either Firefox 11.0 or Internet Explorer 9.0.8112.16421 desktop freezes up. Desktop icons do not select and will not open. Right-clicking the mouse doesn't open the Desktop properties window. However, everything in the Taskbar and Start Menu works!
I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. Java won't run in IE9 but will run in Firefox and Chrome. When I go to Verify Java Version at Java.com in Firefox and Chrome they return Version 7 Update 9 but the test never returns a result in IE9. I uninstalled and reinstalled Java, Java add-ons are enabled. Security settings look ok.Some sites return "An add-on for this website failed to run". Same sites in Firefox and Chrome work fine. Java games don't work in IE9 but same games play in Firefox and Chrome.
I am getting BSOD on my Asus U56E. This is a refurbished laptop i received and BSOD has been happening since day 1. It often happens when I use Mozilla Firefox and sometimes with Chrome. First the mouse pointer freezes up and thereafter BSOD comes up.I had called up Asus customer support and they helped me update BIOS and keyboard driver but it still keeps happening.
Right now I'm working with Internet explorer. Firefox and Chrome don't open any websites. I changed the internet settings in control panel but it didn't help. Some people tell it's about antivirus programs. I am using NOD32 antivirus?
I am running windows 7 pro 64 bit and recently been having some issues I first noticed with firefox. Computer boots up and loads the main screen but then when I try to open firefox or IE nothing happens. some applications work fine (chrome, garmin training centre) but others will not open at all including the restore application, Itunes,msconfig and others.
The network and sharing centre icon in the tray had a blue circle over it as if it's trying to do something after 10minutes that is replaced with red cross and then after a further 5 minutes or so the red cross goes and all the things I was trying to open actually open.
If i open in safe mode with networking it is all fine and I can open everything straight off. The only new thing I have installed is nebak replicator a device that is meant to back up folders to a NAS.
I have Zone alarm anti virus and firwall latest version and that hasn't picked up anything. I have also scanned with spy bot and nothing there. attached is hijack log
One of the features I like about FF is that it gives you the option to remember user names and passwords. Not sure if the latest Chrome and IE do the same??
My laptop has Windows 7 and IE, Chrome, and Firefox wont open. I always use Chrome. Its really weird because my laptop says it is connected to the internet through my wireless router. It loads for a while and then says "This webpage is not available." Im thinking maybe a virus has switched some settings, beacuse I ran Mal Ware bytes and something came up that I deleted.
How to detect duplicate bookmarks in Firefox, Chrome? I try this Firefox add-ons (Bookmark Duplicate Detector 0.7.5) but its not support Firefox 4.0.1.
This morning all my browsers have crashed, IE 9, FF and Chrome on my desktop. When it happened to IE, I thought it was a bug of some kind then checked w/FF and Chrome and they all went done. After restarting each browser they all work fine. I'm in the process of cleaning my system.
My laptop is hp pavilion dv7 core i5 and it came from france. The software digital persona fingerprint scanner dont works with google chrome and mozilla firefox. Why is this so? I cant login to my online accounts. It always says that this is not a login page but it works fine with internet explorer but i dont like that crappy browser.
My computer freezes every five minutes or so while playing games or running Firefox. It's been doing this for the last 6 months and most of the time it freezes for a few minutes then runs fine for a while. Then it freezes again. Eventually I have to hard reboot.
If I connect to my work VPN, then IE refuses to load any pages (inside the work network or outside). It doesn't even appear to try, just goes immediately to "Internet Explorer cannot display this page." I was able to connect to the computer with teamviewer remotely, name resolution worked properly, I was able to ping the web server etc. all fine, even brought the page up in FF and Chrome with no problems. I turned off all add-ins and restarted IE, same deal. If I disconnect from the VPN then IE works fine again. I was running IE9, I tried uninstalling it but having the same issue with IE8.
Yesterday while using Firefox I noticed it kept crashing, with the cause being a "BEX Event". I try opening it to no avail, everytime terminating immediately after I clicked on it. I tried Chrome and Explorer, but both of them suffered the same problem, immediately crashing due to the BEX error. I restarted my system multiple times to see if it subsides, but it reappeared promptly everytime for ALL three browsers (!) I tried Safe Mode with networking to see if its gone. Nope, same problem, with Explorer and Firefox collapsing instantly, while Chrome seem to take around 10-12 seconds of surfing before flatlining due to the same cause.
I then decided to use System Restore and managed to take my whole system back to 5 days ago when none of the problems were happening. Tried again, but nope, same issue with a BEX event. This time it seems Explorer would display it as BEX64 instead of just BEX. I tried resetting entire settings for Explorer, but the BEX error would always prevent me from doing so by shutting down the whole things before its done. I thought, maybe, just maybe, it has something to do with a faulty DEP on Explorer, and added it the list of exceptions for DEP. Still didn't work, and the system wouldn't let me add Chrome and Firefox to the list either. I tried to see if maybe I can download some new antivirus or antispyware programs off the net, except that none of my browsers work, so I have no access to the Internet in both normal and Safe modes.... Sufficient to say I am typing here from a library's computer.
I need to solve my problem with "Not Responding" browser. My browser is Mozilla Firefox 18.0.1 (latest as of this date). When I browse using it, it starts normally but after a minute or two, the browser starts to "hang" and above the browser window, a "Not Responding" message shows up after the Mozilla Firefox name. This makes my PC slow down, and even opening the Task Manager takes a minute to show. But, if I wait, it will return to running status. It just too annoying to have this problem everytime I do browsing. I already uninstall and reinstall the browser but problem persists. I don't know if Mozilla Firefox is the problem, I have some doubt because I use this a long time before this problem occurred.
There are two Win7 machines on my home network. The "Old Machine" is a Dell Dimension 8400 with a newly formatted disk and Win7 32b. All connections to the net with this machine are nearly instant.The "New Machine" is a user-build i7-860 based box with Win7 64b, 8g ram and fast video card - about 1yr old. In the past few days I've noticed slower and slower web-returns. In the lower left corner of the browser I see "Waiting for tomshardware.com..." and it can hang for MINUTES. I'm posting this message via the "Old Machine" as I couldn't get here from the long waits.The Bad Machine has latest network drivers, all Windows stuff is up to date, latest firefox and chrome. Each of two virus packages were run independently - each found a Trojan and it was removed. Both programs are now disabled. I swapped the Cat5 cable on the switch - no change.If I boot that machine in Safe Mode w/Networking - the response time to web connections is excellent - no 'Waiting for..." messages. When I boot back to full Win7 the slowdown is back.I keep thinking this might be a NIC failure - it is Realtek motherboard chipset.
My computer began freezing when I close the internet. Mouse moves but when I click on icon nothing happens. I can use ctrl,alt,del to bring up logon/off window. When I log off and back on I can regain use of all programs.I am running Windows 7,and using IE9,with 6 gig ram. I t seems to have slowly began when I uninstalled Firefox about 2 weeks ago. It was too unstable. This issue was happening just a few times but has now progressed to each time I leave the internet
I custom built my computer and I am having problems with intermittent freezing. The computer freezes every second or two when I am connected to the wireless internet.; however, sometimes I can be connected to wireless and it works just fine. If I disconnect my wireless connection my computer works fine. My computer is running windows 7 professional and the wireless driver is up to date.
It seems my computer runs fine when im not connected to the internet but whenever i connect it freezes up and if i press Ctrl+Ult+Del it comes up with an error saying "The logon process was unable to display security and logon options" and have to force restart. I ran a malware scan and deleted one threat but the issue continues. The Malware scanner decteted BetterInstaller.exe and removed it although it still freezes up
Our PC internet quit working a few days ago. Our wireless laptop and Ipods work. After some (hours) of playing, I noticed our homepage was set to something Babylon. So realized we had some virus issues after research. I have run SpyBot S&D, SAS and Malwarebytes- all came up with some various serious threats. CouponBar, Babylon, I want it! etc. These programs seemed to have removed all the problems, but I still do not have access. My LAN can find my network, but says "no internet access" the wireless does not connect either on this PC.
My computer knowledge is minimal but after comparing various ipconfig screens, it seems to have something to do with the IP addresses. I read that 169.254...is not good. I disabled IPV6 and when obtaining IP addresses automatically didn't work- I typed in the ones listed on the details part of the adapter. Here is a screen shot of my IPconfig/all with LAN only: Windows IP Configuration Host Name . . . . .. . .
When I try to open up a browser the browser screen just says that the webpage I am trying to access is either being edited or has been moved to a new domain. The error code is 137 and I am using chrome. Only internet explorer x64 works! I don't want to use internet explorer. This error could be a virus posing as my proxy then routing my internet traffic back to itself, therefore making it seem like I have internet wvwn though I cant get online. I need to get online on google chrome. I already tried normal internet explorer, safari, firefox, and opera and on the taskbar it says I have wifi but clearly no.
I recently bought WD MyBookLive and I'm busy figuring out how to set it up. I'm confident that my problem has to do with the fact that I've mapped drives to the external backup drive.My problem is this: Whenever I use the Save-as dialog and I click the "Desktop" button so that I can save to the Desktop, the dialog freezes up for a while. Sometims, the dialog itself is not frozen (i.e. I can press Cancel to dismiss it) but the display where the icons from the Desktop are supposed to appear, remains blank. Sometimes, however, both the dialog and the program from which I called it freezes. If I wait long enough, the icons appear, and I can proceed with saving the file or navigating to subfolders on my desktop.This has only started today, after I started mapping drives. I don't think it has to do with WD's software because I had installed those yesterday and didn't notice this problem.
Thing is, even if I disconnect all my mapped drives, the Save-as dialog problem remains. Rebooting has no effect. It is as if Windows is trying to access some resource before it will show me the desktop icons, and it takes a long while for Windows to realise that it can't access that resource (or perhaps it just takes long to access it).This does not happen to all Save-as dialogs -- only to the types of Save-as dialogs that are non-resizeable and that show the five shortcut icons on the left (Recent Places, Desktop, Libraries, Computer, Network). I can actually save a file to the Desktop immediately, but I can't see the files on the desktop (in the dialog) nor can I browse to other folders from there, until I wait a long while. the same applies to Open-file dialogs -- the ones that look similar to the misbehaving Save-as dialogs have the same problem. If I want to open a file using such a dialog I have to wait a minute or two before the list of files display, or I can manually type in the file name and press "Open", and it will open the file.i'm using Windows 7 HP 64-bit.
