Using IE8 I'm randomly getting the error:

iexplore.exe - Application Error

The instruction at "0x7c0c5a6c" referenced memory at "0x7c0c5a6c". The memory could not be "written". Click on OK to terminate the program. Click on CANCEL to debug the program.

I click OK and IE8 hangs. Any suggestions on what's going on and how to prevent this?

I've see that happen when installing/loading some plugins (namely Flash Player) if IE's memory protection is enabled. Try disabling it (it's in the Advanced settings).

Internet Explorer add-ons, such as ActiveX controls and browser toolbars, are used by some Web sites to provide an enhanced browsing experience. An error may occur if an add-on is damaged or if an add-on conflicts with Internet Explorer. To determine whether the error is caused by an add-on, run Internet Explorer in "No Add-Ons" mode. To do this, follow these steps: Click Start, and then type Internet Explorer in the Start Search box. Click Internet Explorer (No Add-Ons). Internet Explorer opens without add-ons, toolbars, or plug-ins. Test Internet Explorer to verify that it works correctly. (from Microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936213)

You could also stop using IE and switch to Chrome or Firefox!
