I have a Asus P2B-LS, P2 400, 512k ram and a Maxtor 40G HD. I run Ad-Aware,
Grisofts AVG,Spyblaster and Search and Destroy. Even though I am totally up
to date through windowsupdate and I have SP2 for XP installed I STILL get a
hard lock freeze while browsing the internet. It can happen at anytime,
seemingly. I have been though the hardware. I have tried:
-disabling the sound card, updating BIOS (vers 1012 now) firmware on my CD
writer, and even disabling my CD writer.
-I have scan-disked and defragged from fresh boot. I have run a series of
drive fitness tests (no bad sectors, drive tests good)
-I have updated the video driver to WHQL drivers
- I have combed the bios and verified proper wait states settings and such.
- I have run a memory tester and I have removed some of the ram and tried
some of the ram in different slots
- I have cleaned the computer, and I have tried additional cooling fans.

The freeze ONLY happens on IE6 while on browsing a page like www.trader.ca
....whats so special about that page? Nothing that I see, but it locks up
there all the time, guarnteed.

I am going to disable some IE6 settings tonight and try that.

Yep Pentium II 400. Its plenty fast enough to browse the internet! =)

I have more then one machine but this machine locks solid on thi
website; www thejder ca, at the moment the www trader ca site i
working (so far) by getting rid of Microsofts VM and installing Su
Java2. I wonder how many other sites are out there that would lock m
machine so solid?

Perhaps a few people out there running XP SP2 could click th
www.thejder.ca link and view about ten of the pictures? This young ma
is a friend of mine and he does custom art and posts it to his website
I like to look at them once in a while--otherwise it wouldn't be such
big deal that only ONE site is broken to this computer.
