Unhappy

Sometimes when I am viewing a web page with Internet Explorer my monitor goes black and I get the message INVALID SIGNAL. My comp then stops responding and I have to cut the powere to switch it off. This only occurs when I am using Internet Explorer, any ideas what is causing this ?

I would love to blame IE for a lot of ills...and I usually do....but this is bizarre! Have you tried different video resolutions, color depths, and refresh rates just for the heck of it?

I have noticed that this problem only occurs with certain web sites. And even then it dosent always happen. Since I posted the first message it hasnt happened. I have tried different res, and colors but its hard to tell if it makes any difference because of the infrequency of the problem.
