Help: When surfing the internet, my Web browser hangs

[Guest Eran Karu]

When I surf the internet, my Web browser, Internet Explorer 7 or Opera 9.6,

occasionally bombs. Only my Web browser hangs, not the entire system that

crashes. I try several times to kill the process of the hanged Web browser

but futile. So I have to reboot my computer system by pressing power "on/off"

button. I try hard to find out what causes the problem but I can not find an

answer at all. In other words, I do not know whether hardware problems,

software bugs or some erroneous web sites cause my Web browser to hang.

Whenever I click any link to any other web site, a web site partly appears on

my computer screen then stops and the small icon at the top and left corner

of the Web browser's interface changes to an empty white rectangle icon - the

Web browser hangs and no error messages appear at all. My keyboard and mouse

work fine. Remember that it happens only when I surf the Internet.

 

It never happened while I had Windows XP Service Pack 2 before.

 

I successfully made a clean install of Windows XP and updated it to the

latest version, including Service Pack 3 and latest Internet Explorer 7 (No

Add-ons). I carefully kept almost everything at default. The same problem

happened again! Therefore, I did not know what to do about it.

 

Please help me how to successfully solve the problem so that my Web

browsers, both Internet Explorer and Opera, will no longer hang while surfing

the internet. Please give me a clear step-by-step instruction in detail.

 

Thanks in advance,

Eran
