A short, ordered checklist that complements the replies above (, , ) and helps isolate whether the issue is network/OS-related or true hardware failure. Work top-to-bottom and test after each change so you know which step fixed (or didn’t fix) the problem.

Network and browser checks

  • Try the same URL from another machine or from a phone on a different network. If the redirect only happens on one PC, the problem is local.
  • Inspect the hosts file (Windows: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts) for unexpected entries and check browser proxy/extension settings; test with a different browser or a fresh profile.
  • Power-cycle the router, verify its DNS settings, and check for unexpected DNS entries in the router admin page.
  • Run up-to-date AV and anti-malware scans if any redirection or unexpected pages appear.

System and hardware checks

  • Boot a Live Linux USB (or another clean OS) to see whether the problem follows Windows/drivers or remains at the hardware level.
  • Run a standalone memory tester (bootable memtest) for several full passes to rule out RAM faults.
  • Inspect the motherboard and GPU for bulging/leaking capacitors or other visible damage.
  • Swap or test the power supply (PSU) — poor voltages under load cause intermittent video/display and stability issues.
  • Reseat and clean the RAM and video card contacts; try different slots or another known-good card if available.

Driver, firmware and final notes

  • Do a clean reinstall of the video driver using a stable vendor release (use vendor uninstall recommendations first).
  • Only update the motherboard BIOS if its changelog explicitly mentions fixes relevant to the symptoms; backup BIOS settings first.
  • Keep a short change log (what you changed and test result). If faults persist after these tests, try components in a second system or pursue RMA/warranty service.

You might be infected with spyware that's hijacking links, rcrevolution. that link worked fine for me.

Mattres, turn off AGP fast writes, especially in BIOS setup. ATi Radeon 9xxx cards often have problems with the feature. Also try setting AGP to 4x in BIOS. You'll get negligible performance drop, but you'll probably get more stability.

But before you do that, get rid of the PC2700 RAM you have and replace it with PC3200 or better RAM, which is what your system requires. You need 400MHz or better RAM, not 333MHz modules ;)


Edit: Also, if you are using the 4.1 drivers, try downgrading the driver to version 3.9 The 4.1 version has some problems which ATi is working on, and version 4.12 drivers should address those issues. It's due out sometime soon.
