I'm using Windows 7 + IE11. I'm not the only one eg see Is it down right now iidrn.com. People have been complaining for days! No-one seems to know what the problem is and, more importantly, what Google is doing to fix it.
Ok modern computer then.... I saw this was in the
Windows NT/2000 section and so I had to make sure we werent dealing with out of date browser and plugins etc with operating systems like NT4 SP6 or Windows 2000 Professional SP4 etc.
Where are people complaining when you stated...

No problems with Google for me in a long time. Perhaps its an ISP issue with their DNS server etc. One way to rule out a bad DNS would be to use opendns IP for DNS with a static entry. I had problems years ago when Adelphia switched over to Comcast and their DNS servers were acting flakey. I even pointed out the hop that was bad in the traceroute with very long latency and unfortunately it was a pointless phone call to comcast at the time as for they wouldnt connect me to anyone who could communicate without a flow chart in front of them of if this then that answers over the phone. I requested to talk to someone with a real background in their infrastructure vs just a telephone service rep. All they could do was claim that they would pass the information to the necessary person in charge of their DNS's. For 5 days I tracked on a spare computer their problem that they didnt fix. No problem like this should have ever taken 5 days. Had I been connected to or information passed on to the correct person in charge they would have fixed that immediately. Obviously for it to take 5 days.... someone higher up was not doing their job very well as for this affected many people other than just myself.
