Hello,
I have had an issue with my computer for several months where if I am browing the internet and the page uses either Silverlight, Adobe Flash Player, Shockwave, Youtube or embedded video, my computer will disconnect from all of the networks, e-mail and drives and freeze. The only way I can get the computer to start working again is to Restart the computer and it becomes very time consuming and irritating. Does anyone know what could be causing this? I have had 2 of the members of IT look at this problem and have not been able to fix it so far. I have Windows XP professional and usually use Mozilla firefox as my browser.
 
download noscript extension so all the java comes disabled by default. that could help with your issue.

reasons why it's happening, the computer could be too old, your ram could be faulty, there could be a memory leak in the browser, there could be a number of other things...
