I seam to be getting this a lot when surfing normal webpages like bbc news etc.... I use win 7 ie11. Anyone else get this ? Is there anything I can do to fix it other than install a different browser
Ive ran virus scans and malware scans but they pick nothing up, my computer itself runs fine.,
Just seams to be that ie11 crashes now and again for no reasons I can think off, I don't run addons or anything

First off, Windows Explorer is not a browser.
Simplest way forward is to install a new browser and try it. If it fixes the problem you know what the issue was.

Hi St3
Open Control Panel and go to Internet options, go to the Advanced Tab and click the first check box 'Use Software rendering..." and save the settings.
Open a web page up, bbc.co.uk is a good one to try and see if it is OK.
Note that you can also do this within IE but if it's crashing, you might not be able to get to the Tools>Internet Options menu!
Cheers
