replacing Fvs336GV2 with SRX5308 - configuration issues

I purchased an SRX5308 Firewall to replace my FVS336GV2 so I can process faster internet speeds.  I thought I had correctly configured it and it was running well for about 23 or 24 hours.  All of a sudden, I started having miscellaneous machines dropping internet connection.  In some cases it helped to diable and the enable the network adapter but this doesnt always do the job.  All the PC's are connected through a Dell managed switch (currently in "unmanaged" mode.  I don't have a lot of experience with firewalls...  I have both firewalls still and have swapped them back and forth.  The FVS works fine but maxes at 30 Mbps while the SRX handles my full 100Mbps.  Can anyone tell me what to look for?  All machines are on DHCP and hard wired through the switch.  Thank you in advance
