    Safari Causes Windows XP to Crash
    « on: January 12, 2012, 08:24:56 PM »
    Recently I installed the latest Safari 5.1.2, but after 1-2 hours running Safari, my Windows XP will crash and reboot, without any alert or error message.
    After reboot, launch Safari, it'll again crash the Windows after 1-2 hours. It just keep crashing like that all day long.
     
    I have no problem with any other browser (IE/Firefox/Chrome/Rockmelt), only Safari.

    What are you doing on the internet when it crashes? Are you watching flash videos? Anyway, why do you want to use Safari on windows?

      Doing usual computer work, nothing special, it just crash all of a sudden.

      I never use Safari on a desktop before.
      And one of the day I read that its plugin can customize Facebook to get rid of all those annoying features, so I just try it out.

      Use whatever browser you like.

      There is no reason Safari should cause your system to crash, but I agree that if it does, it's simple enough to use a different browser of your choice.
