Internet explorer crashing

Let's start out by saying I'm a noob at this. I recently built a new system. Something to play around. I have an Asrock 890fx Deluxe 3 MB ( 1.40 bios) and a Phenom II x2 555. I have no problems unlocking it to a b55 x4. I ran prime95 for 4 hours with no problems. The problem I have is that Internet explorer keeps crashing when I'm running with the cores unlocked. any ideas would be appreciated.

I noticed similar symptoms when overclocking my i3, so I stopped. I would simply try explorer without the extra cores. It's a gimmick frankly to depend on unlocking cores when you can buy a regular propus or phenom II for only a few dollars more. You can also try firefox, but I found it to be less secure and have fewer features than explorer 8.0.

I tried running Foxfire and the flash player keeps crashing (with the cores unlocked). I'm tempted to flash the bios with the newest version to see if that might help (probably not). The system is brand new and it screams compared to my old one. If I could just figure this problem out I would be totally happy with it. I knew when I got the PII 555 that unlocking wasn't a sure thing, but it's stable in prime95.

Yeah....my ol' lady gets unhappy when she can't play Farmville...lmao

Internet Explorer 9 alpha or beta (not sure) came out and is available for download, should be released within some months We'll see what MS's new browser can do!

If you get instability with 4 cores unlocked you probably have bad core, try reducing it down to 3 cores and see if it works better then, if not you got one of the duals that was destined to be a dual due to errors in the other cores.

Yo.
I read about that today on-line.
The title say, " Microsoft re-invented the browser "...
Still, I don't even want to download it.
Maybe in time and after the first set of updates for it..

Do you have problems with any other programs(non web browsers) crashing?

If not you might have a buggy plug in that is crashing out FF and IE since its about to pass prime for a while.

Well the beta doesn't have much...it doesn't have any options...features...not even a damn address bar. Just a little window you open to put in an address...it LITERALLY has nothing else. Thats how simple it is, but lets see what it will be once its finally released. And BTW, I never had problems with IE8...? What is wrong with IE8?...the only reason I use firefox is because it has some nice addons, skins, and is more customizable...but IE8 is very fast and works fine also..

How did you know...?...OH MY SIGNATURE! LOL. Yeah, Ray Lewis is my man, he is getting old but he delivers ridiculous hits. Thats Ravens defense for you.

I'm using IE 8 and FF 3.6.9

^+1.
nice jimmy...

not a bad rig....

I'll try running Memtest when I get off work tonight..... I did open acid3 with IE failed with a 20%.

Here's an update....I did Memtest overnight and no errors. I then got this bright idea to try IE 64 bit....so I downloaded Adobe Square. I am currently running that with no issues ( I'm keeping my fingers crossed). So does this mean my 32 bit IE and Foxfire browsers have issues? I mean they both run good with 2 cores it's just when I unlock the cores.

Oh yeah! I downloaded the Beta like 20minutes ago and it seems excellent. Its fast, smooth, and very responsive. Just one thing though...why does everything seem kind of blurry, as if font smoothing is screwed up or something, stuff, especially text doesn't have that super sharp look as in other browser. Any ideas?

Which Beta blackhawk, IE or FF? They may both be using a new rendering system.

I've had no issue with FF Beta 5 (or now actually 6, which is a stability update).

FF Beta 5 has GPU acceleration on by default (as does IE 9 I think) which might be what you are seeing.

Well.....I uninstalled the adobe flash player and installed IE 9 and re-installed the flash player and all seems to be well. The ol' lady is totally happy now (playing Farmville with no issues..lmao). I want to thank everybody for their input....Damn I love this thing and it was a blast to build....now all I need is for the Browns to win the division this year...(HA)

I am having exactly the same problem as grumpp.

New Phenom II 555 BE unlocked to four cores. Only settings changed in BIOS were EC to Hybrid and ACC to Auto. No change to voltage etc.

Mobo is Gigabyte GA 880GM USB3.

Problem is same IE and FF crashing. Even reinstalled my OS XP SP3. I even tried reseting it back to 2 cores as it was but the problem persists. So unclocked again.

Please help.
