My laptop runs pretty good most of the time, but every now and then it has a bit of a spazz over the connection tray. Basically it starts by kicking me off the net and locking up the notification area. All the icons remain there, but clicking/rightclicking them does nothing, each icon freezes.

The rest of the computer continues on fine, and nothing looks out of the ordinary in the task manager apps/processes list. When I restart the computer, the little "Not responding, end now..." box comes up and its usually either the connections tray, or the power meter. After restarting, everything works fine again.

What would cause that to happen? It seems to happen at random times, maybe once a week or so. Anyone know what it is? I had a look on google, and it seems a few other people have the same problem, but I'm yet to find an explanation or solution.
