IE9 hangs then reboot required

[tchalm]

Sometimes, not always, IE9 hangs with blank white page with nothing happening and there is no way out other than to Restart Win7.

ASUS Sabertooth X58, Core i7 950, 12GB RAM, Windows 7 Pro, up to date on updates.

Can anyone give a pointer to an answer or have any ideas, conflicts to look for?

Thanks,

Consider IE Tools > Options > Advanced > make sure "Use software rendering...." is checked, then click OK and close all IE instances open. Retry at that point.

install the latest GPU drivers or use the workaround from cluberti

Thanks for the ideas. I'll check when the user returns from vacation next week.

Ah, just my two cents, but if the advice above doesn't help, you could try...

Internet Options -> Advanced tab -> Reset Internet Explorer settings.

There is also an option to delete personal settings, but this also removes any customization.
