Page Failed to Load & Other Issues

I have a dv6000 lightly used that I got a few months ago.

This has been happening for a while now on and off. I have 2038 RAM Core 2 duo T5600 @183.GHz

My CPU usage at this second is between 4% and 31% (I have the little monitor running on my side hover bar thing) and my RAM usage is stable at 44%.

Yet, I have this problem where it seems like the computer is degenerating. The right click menu doesn't work (when I right click, nothing happens) - until I close an open window. Then it works. But if I try to open another window, it doesnt work. Then it degenerates more to where I have to close TWO windows to get it to work, etc...

Additionally, if I attempt to open something like from the control panel, it will give me the error "The Page Failed to Load"... unless of course i Go back, close a window and try again.

Its acting as if there isn't enough memory to... open these most basic of windows, which of course can not possibly be the case as right now I have only IE with 3 tabs and my ruckus player open.

Any ideas what the cause of this is? Possibly java related or something? I don't know I'm out of ideas. I have aero off and everything.

I bought this computer so i could have more than one window open at once and not have problems. I've never experienced anything like this in my life with computers before.

Oh yes, another clue, if i open a new link to a new tab in IE when it doesnt want me to, it says "Connecting..." in the tab but the page will never attempt to load and the url does not show in the task bar for the page i was attempting to load.

I've dealt with it for a little while by restarting but now i'm sick of it, I want to know why this is happening!

Thanks.

 

Hasn't anyone experienced this?

 

have you tried to load the page in other internet browsers, such as FireFox?
if not, go ahead and download FireFox and try it.

if everything loads fine in FireFox, then maybe your IE is screwed up. Uninstall it and download it from microsoft.com and reinstall IE. be sure to reboot your computer first after the uninstall.

 

Its not internet pages (I'm not a complete dope) I was just using IE as one example.

As I said, its everything, I get to a certain point where new windows of any kind just will not load. In the control panel specifically, when i try to load something it will bring an empty window with "the page could not load" inside of it. Other windows will not open at all, even task manager does not load, until I close an open window and try again, then it works fine.

But as I said the problem seems degenerate where I have to close 2 to get 1, close 2 more to get 1 more, eventually i'm left with 1 windows/tabs/whatever open, can't right click anything can't open anything without closing everything and just restart.

Yet it can't seriously be a memory issue and I think the fact that missing right click menu's are the first sign of impending meltdown could be helpful in determining the problem.

But thank you for taking the time to reply. Anyway, I haven't even installed FF on this computer yet, its still extremely fresh apps wise.

 

Im guessing its OS error maybe corrupted system files. Try a clean format? or a repair install if you dont wanna lose your files

 

That's an odd problem. Double check the device manager to check for any yellow ! which indicate a problem with that hardware. Next, run a full anti-virus scan, and then run a scan for spyware (like spybot) and adaware. The only other thing I can think of is maybe you have some bad ram? You can test the memory to see if its going bad. If you come up with nothing then I'd probably reinstall the OS.

Kinda wonky problem you got there, my first guess would be bad ram.

how to test the ram?

 

Memtest is a good tool...

You will need to burn the image file to a CD and boot from it to run the software.
