I have 2 laptops
4 yr old runs XP pro SP3
1 month old Vista Home Premium Sp2
Both have IE8, Firefox 3.5 installed. Both for some reason after a few hrs or even a few minutes stops loading pages, doesn't matter which browser I use. XP machine I can go to processes and shut it down and run the browser again and it works till the next time it happens. The Vista wont shut down the browser and only a very long shutdown and restart (if it shuts down) to get the internet working again. Switching browsers when one fails doesn't work all browsers are affected.
I have googled it seems many have the same problem. I have removed Virus scanners firewalls, left the system without any security but same happens, No viruses Avast , Spybot says so. Removed all firefox addons.
Seems sites like youtube make the problem occur faster.
Anyone have the same problem and found the solution?
FF never got back to me and Microsoft said they pass it to the relevant department. But no solutions.

I did notice that youtube causes it to happen more oftern sometimes to the point 1 video per reboot. Which really is not acceptable.
