I page freezes, it means it's either not delivered by web server which will
put something into log file if it happens (you might need to enable
debugging data and stuff in MW) or it's delivered to the browser, but it
fails to display it. Can you check if there is any page source loaded or
better get LiveHTTPHeaders for Firefox / Fiddler for IE and see what got
actually delivered from the server?
Debugging is the only way to interpret the magic of page not loading and
it's pretty hard for us to do it for you, but we can help once we know what
you get from logs.
