Starting this morning, this problem has occured several times. Suddenly all network transfers will stop, and I can't launch any new programs. Already-running programs remain responsive, except for network connectivity. For example, Chrome is still open, and I can open new tabs, but if I try to load google.com or even my router's admin page (192.168.1.1), nothing happens. No error; just nothing loads. My router and Internet connections remain intact and functioning (I tested using other devices).
A reboot will fix the problem for upwards of an hour, and then the same thing will happen. When it does happen, I'm unable to End-Task explorer.exe, or log off Windows; I have to hard-reboot. If I don't already have Task Manager open, it won't open via CTRL+SHIFT+ESC, and nothing happens when I press CTRL+ALT+DEL. I can WIN+R to enter a program name, but no program will launch.
Memory/disk/CPU usage all seem fine, with no apparent hard drive throttling, and there's plenty of free memory. I've never seen something like this happen before. Any ideas?
