Im having a problem thats really pissin me off.. My computer works fine i can play everquest and counter-strike etc.. fine with no problems whatsoever i can surf the net watch pr0n all that no probs..
 
but.. for some reason when im downloading from newsgroups my computer just hangs.. no BSOD or hard reboot or nothin.. just hangs no keyboard or mouse response or nada..
 
The news program i use is newsbin.. i also tried newsreactor same thing.. im a big fan of downloading movies and games etc.. from newsgroups heh. i give a damn its free.. dont judge me just help.
 
I got:
 
800mhz duron
512mb SDRAM
MSI K7t pro motherboard
geforce2 mx..
 
im using all that cheap **** cuz when i moved in my new house a power surge blew up my geforce3 and my 1.2ghz athlon at the same time.. and check this out.. i had it connected to an APC surgearrest professional.. the **** that puzzles me is.. that red light that reads.. "building wiring fault" comes on from time to time. i have no idea why. Do i got roaches in my walls or wha?
 
I mean even if the wiring in the new 300,000+ dollar house is fuxx0red.. how come that surge arrest still allowed my **** to get blasted like that. this is really pissin me off.. i dont wanna end up breaking anything..
 
btw i got a external cable modem.. toshiba pcx1100 to be exact connected to comp via linksys 10/100 nic.. its a PCI nic..
 
halp! me! please
 
update.. it happens when using internet explorer sometimes.. rarely though.. i went to this one website and my comp just froze.. i think its IE for some odd reason.. i remember i had a problem like this before and i had to revert back to using an old *** version of IE
