Everytime my internet explorer is not responding my pc freezes

Everytime my internet explorer is not responding my pc freezes, so i have to restart then when it boots up its frozen still, so have to go into safe mood restore it from an earlier point for it to work again....just wondered is this down to internet explorer as im going to download another browser to see if this is the case, as anyone had this problem themselves?

Add-ons can often cause problems in IE.
