Get little error message screen as what happened.Have used Explorer 9 and don't have any problems. Happens when I try to access Google Maps . I have done driver scans and everything is up to date. Have turned off Accelerator (Tools) and problem goes away.

If the crashes stop when you disable hardware acceleration then you currently have no choice and need to disable HA.

You can try to toggle some of the Boolean gfx and layers prefs on the about:config page to disable some features.
