    and Im not sure whats going on. I ran memtest86, with no errors. I have no viruses or malware -- i ran many tests. What is strange is that it appears (so far) to be applications that are tied to the network or the internet. For instance, both IE8 and mozilla, Steam, will freeze for about 15 secs, then resume. I really am at a loss as to why this is happening. I have done a restore, and nothing appears to work. Specs of my computer are in my sig. Any ideas guys? :confused: :confused:

    Try updating wireless driver, as posted above. I was having issues and had to disconnect, then reconnect every time I opened IE, until I updated driver !
