Test your browser

[Osiris]

Before testing make sure you save everything because your browser may crash and restart your system. Post results. My pc restarted after 1 minute or so.

That was interesting, anyways it said firefox 1.5.0.1 passed all test without crashing. God bless Firefox.

I was testing this out with IE 6, I have the latest security patch up to April 13. The browser didn't crash but it some how crash my router! I lost internet connection, my NIC said the cable was unplugged then it went back to normal but still no connectivity, the test was still running though and maybe it didn't finish because I had no connectivity. Fix the problem though, just had to unplug and replug the modem and router power line. Very weird though.

well my pc crashed during the rest, my cpu usage went way up

 

[Law]

Yea, with IE6 I've notice when I move my mouse it feels sluggish. Probably was the CPU being used extensively. Couldn't explain why my router crash though, maybe it couldn't handle whatever packet that was coming through.

 

[Osiris]

did you try it again? Im gonna do it right now and watch the cpu usage before the reboot
