How do I fix IE not going to the correct page?

I am having serious problems with my internet exploer it will go to the google search page I put something in and it gives me my search results but then I click on it and then it won鈥檛 go anywhere the screen goes blank and when I click on my favorites which are websites I know exist the gateway search page tells me they don鈥檛 exist. I am afraid maybe something that is on my computer that is causing all these problems I have been having for a while.
