Not sure why this is happening, HELP. (BTW i'm pretty good would computers so don't be afraid to be technical.)

don't know what you mean by "my internet" will crash , if your browser is crashing it's a browser problem nothing to do with the internet, current firefox editions are flaky , IE 9 is also prone to crashing) and even chrome has been unreliable , on my edition the first tab will never open , but it runs fine once a second and further tabs are open

Seems like there is a driver problem with the Wifi Card inside your laptop computer. I would highly suggest that you download the newest drivers from the manufacture of the card, mostly Intel. You can lookup the model number for your wifi card by going to Start -> Run -> dxdiag which lists all of the components of your computer. Then google search for the drivers for the specific model, always be sure to download directly from the manufacturer. Restart after you install the new drivers.
If this does not work, your wifi card might be defective, see if your laptop is under warranty, if not a new replacement would run you about $30 to $50 dollars. Look for the same model number wifi card on eBay, take some screws out from the back cover of your laptop and you should be able to just pull out the old card and put in the new card.
Good luck and I hope this helps.
