Win2K hangs completely after typed addres in URL bar, and pressed GO, just after
the page rendering is started, only some character are displayed.
The hangs is very strange: Windows is freezed commpletely, the mouse is blocked,
CTRL-ALT-DEL dont work. I need to press the Hardware Reset of the motherboard.
In 4 year of Win2000 I never see a crash like this.
The freeze happen with some different address, but at this time I remember only
this.
I do not know what they have in common.
The problem is that Talkback cannot send you the crash.
This freeze happen after I installed the Suite version 1.7.5, before I never got
a crash.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. in URL bar digit: www.essentialnews.net
2. press GO
3. the rendering start, and after some char are displayed the PC freeze completely

Actual Results:  
PC freeze completely, mouse pointer are immobilized and CTRL-ALT-DEL dont work.


Expected Results:  
- rendering of the page ended completely or
- mozilla crash and talkback send you data or
- computer freeze and after a reboot, restarting mozilla talkback send U data

Works for me with Mozilla 1.7.5 and 1.8a6 (2005010606) on WinNT4. Page renders
well. 

Perhaps the problem is not your Mozilla installation but your hardware/driver/OS
configuration?

There is something wrong with either one of your kernel mode drivers or your
hardware.
Mozilla is a userspace application and can`t cause a Blue Screen or complete
freeze. (it can only trigger it)

-> invalid

You can/should try to update your graphic card drivers.

I understood where is the problem.
It was an hw problem, it was broken the CPU.
Surely the bug is invalid.
Seemed strange to me, sorry, but the freeze appear just after 1.7.5 and until
2005-01-06 happened only with Mozilla and some Web site.
