Exclamation Internet problems

Hi,
I didnt know where to post so please move to the appropriate plece.

Im having this problem while on the internet.

Sometimes when surfing the net some websites will just take forever to load fully and sometimes they dont load at all and the status bar in Firefox stops.

Or if the above dosent happen my systems memory Resource will just suddenly fall to only 3mb and usualy crash my computer.

I have done a Destructive system recovery using my Recovery disk but its started to do it again.

I have done Spyware/antivirus scans and found nothing.

Can you help?

Yes,

Its not only some sites it can do this on any site at any time.

Last night when i went on Photobucket it just crashed my comp.

And another thing i noticed-
It only does this when ive had the computer on for over 3 hours or more.

Please try going to www.Ewido.com and doing their online scan first.

Are you regularly clearing your temporary internet files from your browser cache?

A problem that crops up after hours of use would point me toward possible overheating issues. Check to see that the CPU fan is correctly installed on the CPU, functioning properly and the heat sink is not clogged with dust. Check PS fans for the same.

No it cant be overheating.

I clean my system of dust every 3-4 weeks.

Here is the temps of my system after been on for 1 hour-
