Opening reddit 'locks' my computer

So this is a bit of a strange one, and has me extremely confused, so I'll try and explain the best I can. Essentially, whenever I open reddit in my browser, my computer loses connection to the internet (but still shows that I am connected) and most things become unresponsive. I can move other windows around slightly, and then they go unresponsive. While this is happening, I usually can't open the start menu, and even when I do, I can't restart my PC from there, so I have to do it from the tower. I can ctrl + alt + del, but, when it eventually works, I get stuck on a "Please Wait" screen. One more thing I've noticed, is my tower making a strange noise while this is happening. Normally when I shut it down, it make a certain noise just before it turns off, and that's the noise it makes.

I havnt been able to replicate it with any other site. Normally when I have problems like this, they fix themself, but this is too annoying. And help is much appreciated. I'll make a video of it, if needed.

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
