Seems to crash my PC a lot ?
Discussion
Hmmm. It's not the site. I'm using ME/2000 and linux in vary degrees and forms and the site is fine on them!
I've never had any probs with browers either!
Sounds to me like you PC could be overheating!
Mine used to do it, had too small a fan for my AMD! Got the big Rover V8 crossed with AJP V8 verion! Haven't had a prob since!
When you computer crashes, has it been doing a lot of 'work' within say 5 minutes???

I am using IE 5.5, a 1.2Mhz processor, 256mb Ram etc.. and it can be as soon as the PC is switched on.. The strange thing is it is just some threads.. Then when I reboot I can view the thread that crashed the Pc, then it crashes on another thread.. Weird...
It is also failing to remember me now, but I have asked it to, and I have checked and I do have cookies on ??!
Poxy PC is the bane of my life !!

My first choice would be to upgrade your video drivers to the latest versions from the vendor's website..
With old drivers (ATI cards bad for this), I've known corruption to appear in IE5.x windows where banners (particularly animated ones) appear - this is a sure sign of memory corruption, which can cause the machine to crash and definitely will if your machine uses A shared memory architecture.

Agree with the previous statements! IE5 sounds like it's got something missing!! Seems strange that it would crash on W98! I've always regarded it as the best put together MIcrosoft OS (Still crap, but it's well put together!)
If it's crashing on various threads then I don't think it could be the website! It's definatly something 'missing' on your system!!!
hmmm!
Wierd!!!

Can't agree I'm afraid. 95, 98 and ME are all as bad as each other since the operating system is afforded no protection from itself or applications running on it. It's very easy to corrupt something essential, either on disc or in memory, and the whole shebang just degrades over time, leading to a point where you are faced with no choice but to re-install the whole lot.
NT, 2000 and XP are built on stronger foundations, are usually more stable and less prone to blowing up or degrading (quite so much) over time.
IMO, it's the best put together, in terms of the whole package. I agree security it none existant and corrupting things is like taking swets from a 2 yr old!!! But in terms of compatability, userability, and performance, while not the best. it's quick!
I've been having problems with 2K recently, just today my modem stopped working with it! I think my Linux Partition is too big! So over the next few weeks I'm going to srub the lot and start over!!!

As with lots of microsift stuff, it could be anything. Even a process your pc is always running ( like a comapany virus checker maybe ) can conflict :/
tools->internet options->advanced, find multimedia and un-tick.....
Play animations
Play sounds
play video's
show pictures.
If this stops the crash then it may be some browser imaged decode problem, or even ted infiltrating your machine to find your address and send you a fleece. Either way, try downloading the latest browser.
