Win7 HP 64b crashes during IE8 usage
Dear people,
Unfortunately tips regarding similar crashes I haven’t been able to solve my problem.
That’s why I am now posting my own issue:
When using IE8 my recent Win7 Home Premium 64b computer crashes repeatedly: completely blocks with a black screen.
I have a new CoreI7 6Gb system with a clean install from DVD upgrade media. I installed IE8 both 32bit and 64bit version.
I have been able to narrow down the crashes of my computer to the moments that I am using IE8 (both the 32b and 64bit version). It crashes at random sites. Only my employers Outlook Web Access site doesn't lead to a crash.
Other:
- I don't have this problem using Firefox (also together with Flash)
- Most recent (64bits) drivers installed
- Not influenced by energy saving settings
- Computer is otherwise stable (running e.g. 48 hours at a stretch)
- Crashes with and without MS Anti virus tools.
- I tried to remove IE8, and download a fresh new version of IE8, but the Microsoft website doesn't provide a dedicated Win7 version of IE8!
When repowering the system, the computer -in the log- reports only that the system had been shutdown unexpectedly: thus also no minidump.
I hope that anyone has a tip for me, otherwise its exit IE8 for me.
Thanks in advance,
Marc
