All browsers crash in win 7 home premium

I am using the most current versions of all 4 major browsers and all crash! I am using a MSI notebook with 4GB ram 32 bit Win 7 home premium. Is it Nvidia again like it was when Vista came out? This behavior rarely happened in XP professional.
What is strange is I can run Virtualbox and a linux distro with firefox inside without a crash.

Welcome to the Lounge 🙂

Are your plugins also the very latest versions, especially Flash and Java? Do your browsers behave correctly with plugins disabled? What security apps do you have installed?

I am using IE8, Opera 10.1, FF 3.5.7, and Chrome. All crash within 20 minutes of use.

FF crashes even in safe mode. Yes I am using the most current version of Java and flash. My MSI notebook came with Norton Internet Security 16. the crash log for FF is:

Did you do a clean install or a upgrade to Windows 7?

The Windows 7 Premimum came preinstalled from MSI.

Have you removed all the installed trial products that inevitably are bundled from the manufacturer? I have had problems on occassion with these programs conflicting with software I really want and install myself. I have gotten to the point that I elliminate this “junk” (my opinion) from new PC’s at the beginning.

I have used PC Decrapifier and had very good results with my latest Toshiba Vista and my Dell XP.

This is not strange. With a virtualbox, the guest OS is completely independent from the host OS. Do all your browsers crash on the same page or same web site? Can you disable Norton and try again?

Hi and welcome

One way to find out how it to check in event viewer
type event viewer in search>windows logs>application tab
check for errors ( they have red in the left column) that say app hang, app crash, etc
there is a lot of data there but when you find them note the event ID and source
If the event ID is 1000 and source 100 it is usually a dep problem.

DEP (data execution protection) is used to prevent apps (and virus) from launching in protected memory space
It is located in the system control panel>advanced>performance>DEP

DEfault is for MS apps only

Hope this helps

I uninstalled adobe air and some other items.

Here is the error that I get with Opera 10.10:

OPERA-CRASHLOG V1 desktop 10.10 1893 windows
Opera.exe 1893 caused exception C0000005 at address 67828756 (Base: 1150000)

How do I disable Norton without uninstalling?

Here is another error code from my event viewer:

Are you running any other applications successfully? Since all browsers crash after a period of time, I’d say your problem is faulty memory.

It sounds as though this is a new PC. The problem could also be a hardware problem with the PC. Check with the manufacturer or reseller and make them help with hands on assistance. If you right click the Norton icon in the running programs list on the task bar there should be an option to disable Norton, at least there used to be when I used Norton.
