I have 3 browsers installed on my computer: IE 8, FF 4, and Chrome. Some weeks ago, all started crashing at random times. I tried disabling add-ons, but that did not seem to help.

A few days ago I reinstalled Windows, but the crashes are still here. I thought the cause might be the antivirus (Windows Security Essentials), and installed Avast instead, but still the browsers crash.

Any ideas are welcome.

Do you receive error messages when they crash, do they freeze first, or do they just simply disappear? After you reinstalled, did you reload any data back on the system from a backup source? – MaQleod Apr 27 '11 at 7:55

Microsoft Word now crashed too. Thanks to its diagnostic tool, I now know that the cause is faulty RAM.
