I'm getting very tired of having my PC freeze up almost every time I go
online. I'm using Hardy on a Compaq Presario C700, with a Broadcom B43
wireless card. I apply every update the update manager detects. I've
been running Hardy since it was released and this problem is ongoing. It
doesn't seem to matter what I am doing online, eventually it will freeze
and require a soft boot using CTRL+ALT+Backspace. I've run some of the
tests people have suggested but the results mean nothing to me - I
posted them once and never heard any comments on whether it showed anything.

I also can't watch YouTube videos at all on Konquerer. Sometimes I can
watch them on Firefox 3.0.1 but it too will shut down without warning.

I recently picked up an almost new PC which I was originally going to
install Ubuntu on. Now I'm reconsidering and think I'm going to go back
to XP so I can watch videos and surf without this hassle all the time.
I'll keep Ubuntu on my laptop because I like it, but I don't like this
problem and until it's fixed I need an alternative that's more reliable.
