Windows 7 x86 or x64? What plugins have you installed? I'm using Simplified Chiense and I cannot reproduce this bug.

The only plugins I have enabled are Flash and Adobe Reader. All others—Dynatrace AJAX, Java, Messenger Companion, Windows Live ID, Blog This in Windows Live Writer—are disabled. I should mention I'm running in a VirtualBox VM, though I've seen this on a co-workers box running Windows direct on hardware.

  I've definitely come across VM bugs in the past. Perhaps this could be related to VirtualBox? IE does use a number of fancy mmu features when JITing JS that might put pressure on some of the more complex parts of a VM.

    Yes, I thought it might have been that, except co-workers could easily reproduce it on their machines that aren't VMs. See the DxDiag in a sibling comment.

      Very interesting. I'll have to try it on one of my home machines I installed windows on later.

        Let me know what you find. Still haven't been able to figure out the pattern for why some folks have been able to reproduce this and others can't.

        Following up: This iMac doesn't reproduce (Windows 8.1 64bit, IE 11.0.2 (11.0.9600.16476), desktop and metro tested, only add-ons enabled: 1password and fiddler)

        Huh. Interesting. Thank you!

  Inside a VM? It's a really important information. Maybe you should try this on a real machine. Virtualization can change many things, for example, GPU-Z crushes my Windows 8.1 VM.

    Sorry, I put this in a sibling comment first as HN wasn't letting me reply until now: Here's the DxDiag from a co-worker's machine that ISN'T a VM and who can also reproduce the bug: http://pastebin.com/e6auRbR8 http://pastebin.com/e6auRbR8 He has all add-ons disabled except for Java.

Here's a DxDiag report: http://pastebin.com/L96ZtQH0 http://pastebin.com/L96ZtQH0 I noticed one other poster who reproduced the crash was using Windows 7 Home Premium SP1, as well. Perhaps it doesn't work on other Windows 7 versions?
