Default Internet Explorer experiencing random freezes

I've had this problem for several months on my old Windows 98 (NOT SE)
system. When I switched from dial-up to high speed DSL, I began to experience
these completely random freezes while using Internet Explorer and any other
browser (Netscape, Firefox, etc). The system would freeze hard (no mouse or
keyboard feedback), and I would be forced to reboot from the tower.

I have all critical updates from Windows Update with the latest IE6 SP1
installed. System has been defragmented and scanned, and I have no spyware or
infections. I have removed any programs that could be interferring with the
network (Antivirus, Firewall, and other network programs uninstalled). DSL
line is DHCP with advertised speeds up 1500 down/128 up, and is hooked up
through my D-Link DI-604 router. I have had this system running for a good 8
years without a single reformat, reinstall, or repair of Windows.

System specs:
AOpen AP5T
Intel Pentium 233MHz MMX
64MB SDRAM
S3 Trio64V+ 1MB PCI
Soundblaster 16 PCI
Quantum Fireball 6GB
D-Link DFE-538TX 10/100 Adapter

Hi there,

Give this a go for testing purposes - do you have an unused network card?
Try disabling it.

Also, review this URL for further suggested causes of freezing:

Check what is the system resouces if its below 70 % that cld be a concern

control panel---system ---performance --system resources

inoder to increase the system resources go
start---run---msconfig---select the selective startup ---top right corner
--startup tab now check the things which u don't want on botttom right hand
corner were time s shown
and click ok to restart that will stop some programe running and make system
faster to work

or try to for for adware scan .. download Adware SE personnel edition
