Problems Rendering Web Pages

It looks to me like some of the image links either aren't getting a connection or are timing out before they get downloaded. It could be caused by lots of different issues, but if I was forced to bet, I would guess it is a connectivity problem with your internet connection. It would help to know what ISP/ connection type you have, and if there are any routers or firewalls running anywhere between you and your ISP.

I certainly wouldn't rule out a software issue, but a good first step might be to just call your ISP's support line if that's an option availavle to you. One thing you can do to see if you are getting a solid connection between you and the server is to do an extended ping test. You can try a general site like google.com to start with and then try specific servers that are giving you trouble. Here is how you can do it:

Go to Start>Run
Type in "cmd" (without the quotes) to bring up the command line
At the command prompt, type in "ping -n 100 sitenamehere.com" (no quotes)

That will run 100 pings (1 per second) to the site you type in to make sure you can continually get a connection to it. At the end it will give you a percentage figure for loss (failures). Typically this should be zero with a good connection.

If an image fails in you browser you can right click on it and go to properties to find the domain for it and use this for a ping test. For this site, it's images.tomshardware.com.

That should at least help narrow it down.
