Windows XP hangs while doing internet

[suddhasil]

Hi people,

I have serious problems with my computer. I hangs every now and then. I have noticed that its hangs only when I am connected to the internet. I have formatted my C drive 3 to 4 times last weekend but with out result. The biggest problem is that I cant predict when its going to hang. This is creating a lot of problem and i need immediate help.

I am using a Dell Inspiron 5160 with Windows Home (SP2)

Anyone faced a similar sort of problem....?? How do I enable a log?

Thanks

You did not mention whether your using IE6 or 7
Try bringing up the Run command window & type  sfc /scannow
into it (dont forget the space after C.

Try updating your Network  driver.
what type Of ISP do you have?
do you use a router?
change your cat5 cable that's connect to your networkcard!

Before you buy a New network Card Try this because you might be wasting your money and time.

Verify that the network cable is properly connected to the back of the computer. In addition, when checking the connection of the network cable, ensure that the LEDs on the network are properly illuminated. For example, a network card with a solid green LED or light usually indicates that the card is either connected or receiving a signal. Note: generally, when the green light is flashing, this is an indication of data being sent or received.

If, however, the card does not have any lights or has orange or red lights, it is possible that either the card is bad, the card is not connected properly, or that the card is not receiving a signal from the network.
