Hi

I seem to be having trouble with IE i was on ver 6 and just kept crashing all the time upto 10 times in an hour so i upgraded to ver 7 and still the same!!

So in the end i restarted xp with a fresh install and went straight to ver 7 and still the same maybe not as bad only four times tonight in 2 hours so i have just gone down to ver 6 and still the same infact crashed while typing this!! :(

I just get the normal windows has to close do you want to send report box but some times i get flash9.ocx error box and IE shuts down.

This is so annoying now can anyone plz help!!

Try Google, I had that on me old comp..no matter what I did it always came back :(

I fear the day it arrives here!
 
have had the same problem a couple of times once it was the memory controller on my cpu (opty 148) secondly it was 1 stick of my g.skill ram! try running memtest and see if it comes up with any errors? failing that see if you can borrow a friends cpu and try that!

More than likely, always thought it was a hardware problem.
 
Had a similar problem after a fresh install. No error messages, IE would just quit. The one time i did get an error message, the XP reporting tool informed me that the problem was a third party ad-on.

I found it to be a Macromedia problem. Some of the newer flash ads were causing problems on whichever version of MM i had.

Websites are using more and more flash adverts, and usually the latest version of Macromedia. I updated from the Macromedia site and the problem vanished.
 
ok just testing 500 mb of my ram and at 5% 9 errors so must have a faulty stick!!

Now i need to remove one stick and retest but how do i alocate just a bit of the mem as it will not test it all in one go?
 
Ok just an update!!

I shutdown pc and removed one stick of ram and rebooted which took forever to load windows run memtest and got 52 errors in 2 % infact the error box was so fast there i had a job closing the memtest program!!

Shut down pc again and removed the second stick and replaced it with the first one out and put it into the same slot i removed first one from!

restart and this time it was into windows in no time run memtest upto 50% and no errors so looks like i will have to RMA my 1 g stick of GEIL back :)

It is only 6 mths old but does have a lifetime warrenty :)

Thanks for the help shane
