Hi everyone i have this weird problem that only started to occur yesterday every time i browse the internet for more than 5 minutes on normal windows my computer locks up and i have to hard shut it down. However if i don't browse the internet it works perfectly fine no locking up i even played games like skyrim and starcraft 2 and nothing.

If i go to safe mode of windows the internet works fine and i can browse the internet without a problem. I have tested my memory, checked my hard drive to see if it was fragmented it wasnt, also rolled back to a previous driver and same thing,tried repairing windows nothing. I am about to just reinstall windows and see if that works unless someone can help me, also it is my wireless internet since im on a laptop and dont have ethernet connections.

I have tried all of the browsers available booted to safe mode scanned for viruses nothing uninstalled firefox downgraded nothing opera does same thing.

I used the windows disk to try and repair the installation that didnt work tried to test my ram thats fine used driversweeper to get rid of all traces of drivers to see if something was conflicting same problem. It looks like i will have to reinstall windows and see if the problem persists after that i hope it is something that a reinstall will fix as my laptop isnt under warranty anymore.

Edit okay im just going to reinstall windows

    https://dontasktoask.com/ - if it's a tech-related question, then just ask what the problem is that you're having.
  • T @ Tunka:
    damn i got band
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Hm... I got suspended from reddit due to suspicious activity.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    They could specify what suspicious is.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Skelletonike, Not a huge fan of Reddit. Moderation is utter trash and people give out bad advice (well, not all the time, but you get what I'm saying). Even to a point where you get banned from a subreddit regardless of following the rules (or post deleted). :mellow:
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I never got banned from any subreddit :mellow:
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    not subreddit and not banned
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    had to replace my password, just don't see what they meant with sus activity
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I am banned from the subreddit funny though, despite never posting anything there or getting any warning

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Skelletonike, Did u check your e-mail to see whether they messaged you about the ban reason?
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    nothing
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    only noticed last week when I was gonna comment on something
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Could be either your e-mail address being anonymous or temporary, or some other thing that I don't know of.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    nvm, was banned 3 years ago
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I asked why I was banned, never got a reply
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Well that was 3 years ago, shouldn't hurt to make a new account. Or just never bother.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I'm not banned from reddit, that was just from funny

  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    From reddit was just the suspension, changed the password and all goood

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Oh good. :)
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I've blocked all the auto-ban bots so I shouldn't be auto-banned for no reason
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't use reddit but do auto ban bots not need to be mod, which means they can see your posts regardless?
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    not in other subs
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    basically they check if you're a member of other subreddits, you can be banned just for being in a sub they don't like, even though it is not against the rules
