my IE keeps shutting down on me when ever I try to play a game at my favorite site. this has only been happening for the last month or so!. I have reslicked the harddrive a few days ago so I know there are no virus or spy wear.. But no sooner then I start to play a game it will shut down. I have all the shockwave files I need at this site to play these games. and like I said it has only just started happening. Any advice wll be greatly welcomed! Thanks so very much!

Echoing points from and , the crash pattern (IE exits when a site game starts, after a fresh OS install) most often narrows to three areas: a browser/plugin conflict, a driver or hardware fault, or a corrupted user/IE setting. The quickest approach is a short, ordered isolation sequence so the root cause becomes clear.

Browser/plugin checks: start IE in "No Add-ons" mode with iexplore -extoff, disable third-party extensions in Manage Add-ons, and reset Internet Explorer settings (Internet Options -> Advanced -> Reset). Reinstall the site plugin (Flash/Shockwave) from its official publisher, and disable hardware acceleration in the plugin or IE (Advanced -> Accelerated graphics -> use software rendering). Test the same game in a different browser; if the other browser also crashes, the plugin/site is likely to blame. Capture the Application error in Event Viewer (eventvwr.msc) — note the faulting module name and timestamp.

Driver/hardware checks: update video and chipset drivers from vendor sites and install the latest DirectX runtimes. Run a bootable memory test (Memtest86+) for several passes to rule out bad RAM. Monitor CPU/GPU temperatures with SpeedFan or HWMonitor while reproducing the crash; overheating or a marginal PSU often shows under sustained load. A minimal boot (msconfig: disable non-Microsoft services/startup) helps reveal software conflicts. If crashes only occur under GPU-accelerated content, try forcing software rendering.

Useful diagnostics to report when seeking targeted help here: Windows/IE exact version and service pack, Event Viewer error text including the faulting module, the plugin filename/version, video card model and driver version, memtest output, and any temperature readings recorded during the crash. Those details let responders distinguish plugin, driver, or hardware failures and recommend precise fixes.

Are you sure it isn't spyware. Spyware can clog up your memory and when you play the game makes the IE crash. Get HiJAck This and post it on here. Also what pograms did you use to check for spyware?

Could be overheating, have you cleaned inside the case recently? Be careful when you do this, use a ground strap to avoid damage via static electricity.

You may also have a failing video card or RAM.

After you reinstalled your OS, did you reinstall the motherboard drivers and the drivers for all other devices?
