I too have this problem that only manifested itself a couple months ago.

I’ve been running vista ultimate for over a year now with no major problems until a couple months ago when both IE7 and Firefox spontaneously stop working after a while. I know I still have an internet connection because AIM still works and torrents continue to download, but all browsers come up with an error. Another machine running vista ultimate connected to the same router hasn’t shown this issue though. The funny thing is, when the problem started nothing had changed in my machine. No new programs installed, no updates from Microsoft, no new hardware. The only thing that fixes it is a system reboot. There is no error in event viewer that I can trace to this problem.

I do a lot of computer hardware research and built this machine myself so I have in depth knowledge of all the hardware inside, drivers installed, and programs on the system. I’m an electrical design engineer and programmer so I’m no stranger to debugging. Yet this problem has me completely baffled. I agree with magmatrix that this problem doesn’t seem to be any of those things he listed. If anybody figures out anything, please post your solution on this site.

Kemical,
Magmatrix posted all those things it is not to help prevent others from wasting time going down dead ends. Be happy you’ve never run into a problem you couldn’t solve or find someone else’s solution to. Remember, not everyone can be as lucky as you.

i've been having the same problem for quite sometime now... it seems like every hour just about on the hour the IE stops working... and i cant get it to work again until i restat. Sometimes i can post pone the non working of IE by going back a website then trying again, but it only works a few times...


i dont abuse or missuse my computer at all.

And i find it very messed up how the people replying saying we dont know how to use computers and crap just because you dont have the problem our computers are having...

Not trying to stir the pot but but to get to a solution....
First of all each of you that are having this "bug" as you want to call it, would you please post a hardware list.
Be specific.

1. Mother board = Example...Asus P5DV2-VM SE
2. CPU
3. Video card
4. Memory
5. and this should have been #1 Make and model of PC..Dell, HP, homebuilt, etc.

If you want us to help don't flame because you don't like or don't want to believe the answer you get. I'd hate for someone to get banned over something silly.

LOL....

Perhaps the reason this is happening is that there is a conflict somewhere between certain software.. Unfortunately this is going to take a great deal of trial and error before the 'conflict' can be found. Perhaps if users having this particular problem posted the software they were using for stuff like anti-virus,spyware and so on we could find a common denominator?

Thanks for the post misteviouse. Now if we can get a couple more forum users posting the same content hopefully we may find a connection.. Fingers crossed!

True but I am starting to think this problem is more software based but having all the information can't hurt..
