Recently my computer has been giving me some some issues.
Within the past week anytime i open internet explorer or mozilla, the browser will freeze up. "Not responding" pops up at the top, a few seconds later everything is fine.
If i watch videos, they are laggy. Volume is fine but video is all jumpy.
It doesnt matter if i have 10 tabs open or 2 tabs open.
Actually, coming from weather.com to computerforum.com within the same tab, it froze. I can do other things on the computer fine. Open the start menu, use AIM messenger, everything else is fine except the browsers.
I have not tried to uninstall either and reinstall. Figured this couldnt be a problem that would be solved by doing that since it is both of the browsers doing it together.
Computer is a Dell XPS 8300. i5 2320 3.00ghz, 6gb ram. 64 bit Windows 7 home premium.
Bought the computer from Best buy just a few months ago, it was one of the display desktops.
Also, this has been going on for a bit longer, but if i have say..15+ tabs open, a video playing on both monitors, either my video card crashes or im not sure. But my computer will freeze, both displays will shut off, and then blam, i get a nice bright blue screen. Computer will attempt to restart. at the blue screen it will count down or collect some data or something. I have forgotten what all it does. But it will end up shutting down, or it will try to. It will stop at the Dell screen with the model of the computer displayed and a status bar beneath all that.
Doesnt go any further then that. I have to shut down the computer via the on/off bottom and turn it back on. Everything is fine after that until it crashes again or until i begin ripping my hair out when my browser freezes.
I can take a video of all the madness if that would help someone, help me.
Well, hopefully someone can give me some input on these problems.
Thanks
