Well I have been having some weird problems with one of my computers for a few weeks now. When I try to go to certain sites (In either IE7 or Mozilla) on one of my Desktops either the site won't load or it will take a really long time. Then if I go to other sites (Like here) the site will load normally, fast, and work. At first I thought I was having router issues again but I play COD 4 multiplayer on this computer all the time and I never get lagged out.
Just to make sure I brought my Laptop upstairs with me and loaded the same websites (Motorauthority.com and Broadbandreports.com websites that won't load on this computer) on the Laptop and Desktop simultaneously. The websites loaded fast and fully while the Desktop was still trying to load them. Then for good measure I went on Broadband reports (With the Laptop) and did a speed test, the ping was 58 ms the normal reading. I also pinged websites with this computer and got normal ping (Sometimes I would lose a packet when pinging Google but that was always the case).
So I now know it’s not the router causing the problem but my Desktop. At this point I am lost for ideas on how to solve the issue short of reformatting my computer which I don't want to do. On top of all of this ever since I upgraded to IE7 my Internet Explorer has been freezing many times a day, I went through the whole uninstall and reinstall thing trying to fix it without any results. So please help if you can thanks.
Edit: When I posted this I had to hit the reload several times to get back to this page and I had to say when I do connect to certain websites certain links on the webpage won't load or those advertisements won't load (Not like I don't miss them). Here is an example of what I speak of:
