Web Cache Problems

Hey. I am having a painfully annoying issue since buying my Samsung Series 9 Ultra book which was pre-installed with Windows 8.

When i browse to a website, only part of the page loads. Mainly images, javascript and flash are excluded. Re-freshing the page loads it correctly so it must be a cache issue.

I use Chrome as my main browser but all other browsers have the same issue. Clearing the cache fixes the problem for a short period of time but once it's built its self back up the problem returns.

After a bit of searching it seems Samsung Ultrabook series 7, 8 and 9 are mainly effected but there are some other machines have the same problem.

I tried to contact Samsung and have used their live support but didn't get anywhere. The tech guy first told me it's because "Google Chrome can't delete it's things." (!). They then used Windows updates as an excuse so he didn't have to say 'I don't know whats wrong'.

There is a large post about this on Chrome's forum as well but there's doesn't seem to be a solution. I am a web developer so as you can imaging having to re-fresh every page is getting quite tedious! If i can't find a solution i will have to revert back to Windows 7.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Luke

Hey. Thanks for your reply! Unfortunately this hasn't fixed the issue. I changed the setting about an hour ago and i'm still having problems :(

Any other ideas?

Do you have any common toolbars or add-ons installed in the browsers that may be responsible?

Nope. Chrome is my main browser so i have tool bars there. All other browsers are just for web site cross-browser compatibility tests so they are clean from when they were installed.

Anymore ideas on this one? There's three of us in the office, all with Samsung series 9 ultra-books pre-installed with windows 8 and we are all having the same problem!

Looking at the thread on the Chrome forum it seems this problem has been going on since windows 8 was launched but i can't find any answers!

I tried disabling the cache in Chrome and clearing all history but the same happens again (after about an hour of browsing). So maybe it isn't a cache issue?

Cheers

Some have reported faster browsing on Win 8 by using the Chrome incognito mode. I would also try disabling tabbed browsing to see what happens. I can't test these myself because I don't use Chrome.

If this is happening on all browsers then there is something bigger amiss, have you tried different DNS servers such as Googles? I always keep Comodo (secure chrome) installed setup with it's default secure DNS to always check against when I have issues.

OOPs! Did the OP confirm this was happening on ALL browsers? If so, I missed that! Sorry.

Looking good so far. Are there any security issues around using Googles public DNS if i use VPNs to access client servers and systems?
