    Dang...I will have to get back to this when I get my internet back up, it crashed last night around midnight, I'm down at the local market in the coffee shop with the laptop.

    The customer service for my internet goes home at 5PM on Friday and doesn't answer the phone till Monday at 8 AM, piss poor service but it's better (faster uploads) then satellite.

    When your PC is back up, Take a look in Event Viewer Hardware/software see if there is any warnings etc. that might give a clue on what maybe causing these things. when PC Crashes are you getting (BSOD) OR just locks/freezes up.

    I done use chrome as it reports too much info back to google.

    I will try the Firefox in safe mode and see what happens. (on that PC)

    I'm going to try Opera and see what happens.

    its just a matter of time before it hits the others its an old problem that effects some some it doesnt
    the tut seems to cover what a lot say here.

    Don't feel bad. My new Macbook runs out of memory when I run Firefox and it has 16gb. They have lots of issues and they don't seem to be addressing them properly. Chrome would be the best bet but like you said it sends too much data back home to mama. I have Safari but I'm not a fan of it.

    OK this is funny, it's all working fine right now, (PC and internet, internet had mice problems) it can't be an overheating problem as I have external cooling fans mounted on the hot spots.

    My ram load is under 45%,(8 GB) my CPU is a quad core i5, and it's at around 10%, it may be a problem with the onboard video drivers (I wish I could go with an add on video card but this is an all -in-one) but there has not been an update for them from the out of the package first run.

    I will have to keep an eye on this...

    As to the internet problem, it was not the IP provider at fault but a mouse problem (organic kind) found a unused LAN cable (running under the house to the guest room) that had been partly chewed through,(found during LAN cable testing) this had shorted out some of the pairs to the router, I have a new router in place as this may have damaged the internal switching, (I always have a spare) and a new backup on order, this fixed the internet problems.

    Next step is to put the LAN cables into conduit, and look for some Cats that will get along with the Dogs.

    OK kids, I think I may have found a fix for the lockup problem....After many long nights looking for a solution to this I came across a post on the Malwarbyte forum, it looks like others have this same problem as I but not all.

    It looks like Malwarebytes pro when used with windows 7 pro or ultimate on certain PC's has a problem, if your using the WEB protection option it can/could lock up the computer, one of the suggested fix's can be as simple as to turn off this option, another is to go back to a previous version of MWB's and turn off the auto update option till they sort this out.

    I am trying the first one, we will see what happens.

    I read on some of the forums, that Malwarebytes has found a way to block/stop the use of "Hacked" 3.6 versions being used
    and that is what is causing issues with the New Program 3.6

    Well so far the system is stable, I didn't see anything about a hack on MWB on their forum, I guess time will tell.
