I just thought of something and I think it may just be a coincidence but I figure I'll throw it out there. I have At&t uverse as my cable & internet provider. Just before all these freezes started, I had to call them b\c of cable box issues. After resetting my box and resolving that issue, they then told me I had an outdated modem and it needed to be replaced with an updated one. (I was having no trouble with the modem or my internet connection this time.) The modem came a few days later and the freezes followed shortly after. Is it a possibility that this could be causing these freezes? I never actually connected my laptop to the modem or any router. I just hopped on the network. My dad's computer, which is upstairs from the modem has gotten a weaker signal since the update as well. I get a good signal but my laptop is next to the modem. The main reason I suspect this is because I've disconnected from the network and hadn't had a freeze while not connected. All freezes have occurred while connected to my wireless network. If the modem is faulty...could that cause a freeze?
