Do you check your Hotmail account the first thing your laptop connects to the Internet? Or after? Like after playing some games, doing your work, etc.

If that is the case, your computer may not be supplying enough power. Vista is not only a RAM sucker, it uses a lot of computing power as well.

How come there seems to be like more than 1 people in this whole quoted speech.

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Is it just IE only? Or any other programs will trigger it? If other programs have the same effect... you probably need to check your hardware for defects.

RedizAlertz SG

To check hardwares for defects? Er..How do i do that?? Sorry ah, me hardware idiot. Embarassed

ndmmxiaomayi SG

If you have a spare computer, just take out each part one by one and replace on another computer and run it. Do this until you run into problems with a particular hardware.

Or simply, find tests around.

Memtest - to test your RAM.

Hard disk test - you can find it on the hard disk manufacturer's website. Seagate and Maxtor has one, not sure for the others.
