Cache Errors constantly happening

glasgow67 · 28/01/13 - 16:34

My laptop rarely lasts for 2 hours of internet browsing before I have to clear the cache as websites start not working properly. Does anyone know what the problem could be?

It happens on Firefox, Internet Explorer and Chrome so its not one browsers problem?

For issues like, that most of the time it is quicker to re-install windows than to waste time looking for a solution to the issue

Youtube as an example, videos either dont show up or there is just a black shape where it should be. The main page comes up as a list of writing.

Other websites like forums some peoples avatars dont show up but some do.

Wikipedia, the writing is bigger than normal and rather than the normal way it looks the paragraphs say [edit] in blue writing above them.

Even this forum, the main forum page shows up as like all white background with black writing and the blue links to the sub forum bits.

Basically links you can click on come up in blue writing and everything else is in black on a white page.

This is a screenshot of how the main youtube page looks http://i46.tinypic.com/2dgw11e.jpg

When did you do the last basic maintenance tasks.

Like scanning for Malware/Viruses, and Scanning for any Hard Disk drive problems, Ensuring sufficient hard drive space etc ?

What ISP?

But normally its caused by timeouts to get that sort of error so it could be anything from bad wiring to your isp to they are having a bad day or 2 with some tech stuff even down to inter ISP peering can cause these prob's so perhaps check your isps forums and see if theres a load of moaning going on

Do a speedtest several times throughout the day and post back with the results:

Also, how do you connect to the Internet? Wireless? Ethernet? Mobile dongle?

I last scanned for viruses today, there were none, I used malwarebytes.

ISP is Virgin Media

Its been happening since I got this Laptop about 1 month ago, from the first day.

I havent scanned for any hard-disk problems.

Done a speedtest today at about 12pm and it was around 37 ping, 21mbps download and 4.5mbps upload

Done is again there and http://www.speedtest.bbmax.co.uk/results.php?t=1359409471&v=18595722

Go to control panel, Internet options, Advanced and click on 'Restore advanced settings'. See does that help, you may have to reboot.

I done that there and it made this website go back to normal but youtube didnt

I think I might have fixed it, I went into add or remove programmes and removed Yontoo LLC and now all websites are working fine. It must have been a virus or some sort of programme messing it up.

Thanks for your help anyway guys, hopefully thats it sorted and I dont have to come back again
