What kernel are you running?

p3kernel. 125 - 1.25ghz

Lower your OC speeds, this is widely known issue in Froyo. Too high of an OC produces FC from the browser.

Ah figures. Thanks. So what's the recommended speed. 1ghz?

800Mhz-1Ghz should be fine.

This has been happening to me a LOT lately. I'm running the "stock" 800 mhz kernel that came with CM6.

Anyone have a suggestion for an alternate?

Make sure you have enough free RAM that FroYo doesn't kill it. I'm NOT advocating a "keep X MB RAM free at all times" script (it's garbage and hurts your Droid's performance, believe it or not) or a task killer -- just reboot your phone every day or so.

Also, some pages don't work so well with the browsers in Android. You could try the about:debug trick and set it to desktop/iPhone/Android to see if one of those works better.

This is what I thought the problem was. I only have about 40m free at any given time, and I think that's the magic number that makes android start killing stuff - like my browser.

Even worse, from what I've seen there isn't exactly much I can do about the memory size. I have a lot of apps that I need that run services, and that's eating up a lot of RAM (I think).

There isn't, really. When I check my running apps under the built-in app manager I often have like 20MB of RAM left. When I notice I have over a hundred in the red and nothing I can do about it I reboot. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be anything else to do, but a reboot takes like two minutes and I'm back up and running.

I have about 14mb left.
