The error just indicates Squid is aware there is some connectivity
problem, and stops responding to ICP on misses to avoid drawing traffic
from child caches..

So it's just a indication there is something wrong, not the error cause
itself..

As you say it's impossible to browse at the time then my guess is that
you have some kind of networking related problem which prevents Squid
from connecting to the Internet.
