Version of Windows?  Dell only supports up to Win 7 on Inspiron 580. 

Any error messages when it freezes on restarting?

When was last time you replaced motherboard battery?   You might want to do this first, if nothing else than to rule the battery out.

Have you checked the Ethernet LEDs on rear of PC when it disconnects Ethernet or freezes? 

Have you tried a different Ethernet cable., or at least unplugged and replugged the cable into PC and router? 

Have you tried rebooting the router?

Do you have latest Ethernet driver for your version of Windows installed?
