My internet keeps crashing? I have to reset my router/network adapter to fix, but I want it to stop crashing?

I have Windows Vista and here is a picture of what I'm seeing:

http://zhost.tk/u/al/bad_internet.jpg

I just got my modem and router replaced, so that isn't the problem (I think). My internet will be doing fine and then I will try to open up a gaming program or a web page, and it just loads forever, eventually telling me that it couldn't connect to the DNS server. I am able to fix this by resetting my modem and router, but I want to be able to surf the web without having to do this multiple times a day! I am using Google Public DNS.

Help?
