Do any of you clever PC boffins know what might cause my computer to freeze, but only on one website (Not this one and not porn)? It behaves perfectly everywhere else but within seconds of going to this other site it locks up completely and I have to reboot.

I bet it's a website that uses Adobe Flash.

First question are you using Internet Explorer?
If you are using IE try it in Firefox, Chrome, Opera

May be the website has too many elements it is trying to download, which is freezing your browser.

The most curious thing..
Local newpaper sites tend to freeze my PC due to the vast amount of crap and adverts. You could try increasing your security settings on that site and see if that helps but you will loose almost all functionality on the site in terms of hyperlinks

It is but I have Flash. I use Maxthon as a browser which I believe is an off-shoot of IE.

Yes, but if you have Flash Player installed, Flash has a tendency to hog the memory of your computer.

It will be the amount of posts that you make on here, that's your problem right there.

If I wasn't here you'd have to pick on somebody else and I'd hate that.

Thanks all. I seem to have fixed it by altering my Flash settings.
