Safari not loading websites

If I open a new window in Safari it will not load any websites. I can still load any websites in windows that are already open. Sometimes this occurs after a few minutes use, sometimes I can use it for hours without it happening.

Quitting and restarting Safari doesn't help, I have deleted all cookies, emptied the cache and deleted all the History, and nothing helps. I have to restart the MacBook to cure the problem.

When I try to shut the MacBook down it closes all applications then freezes on the desktop, I have to force it to shutdown and the start it again.


Any Ideas?
