Question

Internet Explorer has stopped Working (IEHSW)

Aug 11, 2018 9:55AM PDT

Windows 10
Internet Explorer 11
NO Chrome - makes things worse .
This PITA occurs 5 to 20 time per day, plus , I have no UTube, no video, and many other breakdowns . This computer system is becoming old (4 to 5 years old) . Its still 'working' more or less - should I junk it and go laptop ?

Filthy ? YES, I probably skipped an annual cleaning,,
The three fans do operate. The failing HDD ? .. a good chance .. I have all this IEHSW over and over, PLUS no video from FaceBook, MLB Gameday, others, and U Tube . F12 and F9 do nothing and I have no system restore !
