[QUOTE="dazcaz, post: 1005349, member: 131276"] I think that I might have solved the problem. It's been nearly 2 hours and the machine hasn't crashed. Here's what I did. I went into disc utilities, highlighted the hard drive and then set it off verifying disc permissions. A load of errors were thrown back, nearly all of them Java related. I then set the machine off repairing these permissions and now all seems OK. I got to thinking it was a java issue a while back. I couldn't understand why programs that used the net, Spotify, Last FM etc were perfectly OK, but browsers caused a crash. Even Opera had the problem. This got me thinking that it must be something that only the browsers would use, and the two things that sprung to mind were Quicktime and Java. It turns out that Java may have been the culprit. I have no idea what "permissions" are or what they do, but now that they are repaired all seems OK. I'm typing this on the machine that had the issue, and all seems fine. Fingers crossed :) Darren [/QUOTE]
