O.k i'm not very good with computers but i think mine is a bit broke, well something is! It all works fine when i'm doing non internet related things but when i come to the internet it plays up.

So like i said this is just a few but if i started searching plenty would load but plenty wouldn't
Oh and when it wont load it just comes up with the usual
