Laptop not responding after a few minutes of downloading
I have an HP dv5 1299ev. Vista HP SP2. for specs see attached images.
It has a seagate 250GB sata 5400rpm HDD installed





i use flashget as my download manager. after about 20 mins of downloading i get a flat line in flashget (indicating that there is something wrong with my internet connection). The computer stops responding to anything saying there are insufficient system resources. C alt D does not work.
i runned spyware and virus check with no results.

any idea what might be wrong?

thanks
