Hello,
I bought an Acer laptop in Dec ’09. Within a few days it began to freeze when I was online. I thought it might be because it was new and it did indeed stop and until last week the laptop froze maybe 3 or 4 times.
However, in the last week it has started freezing again. Sometimes I can get an hour or two before it freezes but usually I get 20 mins tops and sometimes it even freezes within minutes of turning it back on , before I can even connect to the internet. Today I have been online for 2 hours and it has frozen 7 times. (Twice while attempting to post this). My only option is to hold down the power button until it switches off.
Also for the past 4 days when I click my connection icon in the desktop it says ‘no network’ but I can connect by going to Internet Options>Connections in IE or Firefox. Has the freezing caused this I wonder? It hasn’t happened before.
Any help would be great. I work from home and need access to the internet all day so this is very annoying.
Thanks, JJ.
