So I currently have a "professional" over trying to fix my computer, he's done everything from googling the problem (LMFAO) to formatting. He has no idea what's wrong.

What I did: I recently upgraded my hard drive to an SSD, installed windows 7, and installed an ethernet driver.

What's wrong with it: It won't load certain webpages, for example, ninemsn, skype. & it also won't download certain things, namely Steam. So basically it's being racist to certain things.

I need help ASAP!
I live in the Frankston area.

Formatting won't fix the problem. (correction: It MAY fix the problem)

Sounds like a DNS issue more than anything, however if the DNS issue is in the modem/router then factory reset/reconfigure will fix that.

Yeah.. I'll try that tomorrow. If it doesn't work and daniel can't fix it, you have to! assuming you are the same jeffy i think you are.
But you'd think the computer tech guy would of done that.. but he didn't.
