Good, looking good so far.

Let me ask you about your internet setup.

Do you have cable internet access and use a router > Give me info as far as what you have

Great, I've have the computer up and running all day, with internet access on, and there's no noticeable symptoms.
This is a personal laptop (hp pavilion dv7), running 64 bit - windows 7, with broadcom 43225 wireless adapter linking to a Linksys E1000 router. Anyplace between 3-8 other devices as use this network as well (desktops/laptops/a few ipads). Comcast cable ISP, from speedtest.net right now getting around ~4mbps upload and download speeds (download speeds fluctuate often), ~17ms ping. I do not believe there are any noteworthy changes in the routers settings, everything should be factory defaults. Motorola - SB6121 SURFboard Modem as well. I do travel occasionally with this laptop, so it is setup to automatically connect to a few different networks (school, work), I haven't connected to these since these problems started. Also may be worth mentioning since I saw it pop up in those logs, that I do not often use FireFox for web browsing, virtually only use Chrome.

Are all the other computers running ok that access your network or is just this one ?

Where going to run System File Checker, it can only be run from an elevated command prompt, very easy to do

Go to Start> All Programs> Accessories> and you will see an entry for the Command Prompt, you need to right click on it and select Run as Administrator.

When it loads you will see C:/windows/system32/ right next to it you need to type this in correctly or you can even copy it here and paste it sfc /scannnow
Then press enter on your keyboard

This will take maybe 10 minutes, when its done it will say if it found and fixed problems, let me know what it said

I have not noticed any problems on any of the other machines.

Ran System File Checker, results below :

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]

Beginning system scan. This process will take some time.

Beginning verification phase of system scan.
