Periodically when surfing the web using my cable modem (Comcast), I lose my connection and need to re-boot. As soon as I reboot, everything is fine.

There seems to be no rhyme or reason to this occurring... it sometimes even happens in the middle of downloading a file... it will just hang in the middle of the file, and I'll need to re-boot and try again. Or, I can just be surfing and it will stop in the middle of a web page.

Any suggestions for how to resolve this?

Thanks!

Check all your fans and make sure they are running at full speed and not stopping.

I don't have a fan, as I am working on a notebook PC.
