Could you possibly add where your downloading from, and in what format (eg: MP3)

Yep, most download sites for music and movie have loads of spyware and adware. Your computer or browser can crash just by visiting the first page. Basicly your computer is getting injected by so much advertisement that it freezes. I clean my little nephew's computer every week and he gets about the same problem.

Bottom line, if you can visit other "regular" website and your computer doesn't freeze, then you should stop visiting those downloads site period.

Thanks for the confirmation. Can you tell me if you can visit all other standard website ok? Like log into yahoo, msn, youtube for example. And what browser are you using?
It would also help if you give me the website which causes your crash as I can go there and see if crashes too.
