Switching OSes is highly unlikely to help in any way, and if you mean an upgrade 
install it will likely only make it worse. If you did a fresh install/restore and 
it still does it on both firefox and IE then I suspect the problem is with your router, 
modem or ISP. Your router and modem should both have a reset pinhole on the back 
somewhere so I would use that first, that will reset them to their factory state 
so write down any settings you need to first. If resetting on your end does nothing 
call your ISP and get them to test to make sure it is not on their end.
