Wifi hangs up on start-up, and computer hangs after using internet for 5 min.

‎12-04-2011 10:01 PM

HP Touchsmart tm2, using Window's 7 64-bit. There are no error messages popping up, but what happens is I start my computer, and my wifi/internet connection icon seems to freeze while loading possible internet connections. If I turn off my wifi and then turn it back on using the button on the side of my computer, it seems to work correctly, then.

But, when I get on the internet, no matter what site I go on to, my computer will just hang up after being online for at most 5 minutes. Mozilla Firefox will go into a Not Repsonding mode, and I can't minimize it or click/open any other programs. CTRL+ALT+DEL doesn't work, and when I hover over any icon, nothing seems like it's recognizing my mouse. The mouse moves, though, and the time even keeps going (it'll change from 9:13 to 9:14 and so forth).

It ends up figuring itself out, though, after another 5 minutes (literally an entire 5 minutes) and then seems to work okay. 

 

Recently, I updated CCleaner to the newest version, cleaned out my internet cache, defrag my computer using Defraggler, used CClean to also wipe by free space, and updated Avast! Antivirus to the newest version and ran a full virus scan with no threats detected... :/
