Short, practical troubleshooting steps based on the thread: reported repeated hangs; noted occasional similar behavior on a different machine; correctly pointed toward checking browser addons and system resources. The replies cover likely causes but miss a few diagnostic steps that will pinpoint whether this is the browser, an add-on, or the system.

Start by collecting facts before changing things: open Reliability Monitor or Event Viewer and look for Error events around the crash time (Application log). Record any "faulting module" or exception code shown — that points at a plugin, driver, or IE itself. Then run the browser without extensions to test isolation:

iexplore -extoff

If the problem stops, disable add-ons in Manage Add-ons and re-enable one at a time to find the culprit. If it continues, reset the browser settings (Internet Options -> Advanced -> Reset) after backing up favorites and settings.

Also run the usual system checks: a full, updated anti-malware scan; sfc /scannow to verify system files; and update video/network drivers and any NPAPI/ActiveX plugins you use. Test using a new Windows user profile and a different browser — if other browsers also fail, the cause is likely system-level rather than IE-specific.

If crashes persist after the above, capture the error details (Event Viewer entries, Reliability report, exact add-on list and timestamps) and post them. That information makes it possible to identify whether a particular DLL, plugin, or driver is causing the fault and whether you should repair Windows components, remove a third-party extension, or move to a supported browser for stability and security.

What version of IE?
How much RAM do you have

I have 64-bit Vista Home/IE7, 5 Gig RAM, quad core, and occasionally have a similar problem. Had to use Task Manager to kill it just about a half hour ago. Thankfully, that doesn't happen as often as it does for you.

never happens for me. Bad plugin / addon maybe?

I USE INTERNET EXPLORER 6.0 AND I HAVE 512 MB RAM

Member Avatar for jbennet

a) IE6 is really buggy
b) with 512mb of ram you could run out of memory with a few IE windows open
