Not sure wht you mean by this please explain, was there a problem with the driver?.
Do you have onboard graphics, if so remove the graphics card and run from the onboard to see if the problem persists, or put your old card back in (if it still works) and again see if you have the same problem.

OK, lets check that internet explore does not have any Malware attached to it, as you cannot use internet explorer you will have to do this on another PC to make an anti virus boot disc. All the instructions are included on this page.

I think if it was your RAM it would freeze during the use of other applications, not just IE.
When you reinstalled Windows did you do a full format or just run the Repair install. If you did a full format then don't bother with the above suggestion as the format will have wiped any Malware from the system. Instead, take a look in Device Manager and see if you have any yellow warnings next to the hardware list. It could be this problem is related to your internet connection device. Do you use wireless or an Ethernet cable connection?

OK, lets try something else.
Start Internet Explorer in "No Add-ons" mode
To start Internet Explorer in "No Add-ons" mode, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click Internet Explorer (No Add-ons). See how well that works.
Have you got another PC you can plug your ethernet connection into to test it?
I wish I could earn €50 an hour to work on here, lol. Lets see if we can fix it for free.

I think this is most likely to be a hardware issue. First have a very close look at your Ethernet connection and make sure there is no damage to the socket on the PC. A magnifying glass and a torch will help.
What type of hard drive do you have, IDE or SATA?
Have you installed all the chipset drivers after the new OS install?
Try running with just one RAM stick fitted and then swap them around if no change.
Check all the internal connections on the drives and the motherboard.
Download this software to check your CPU temperatures.

Use your laptop to make a diagnostics disc to test the hard drive.
