Sorry to be so long in getting back to you, but, here are a couple of things
you might try. As you know that it is not due to any 3rd party fingers at
play on the 'ol ivories, are you getting any error messages after you
shutdown or during the events? If so, please post the exact wording.

Try the information below and see if it will help. Let me know how you do.
:-)

Clear the IE cache. I.E./Tools/Options/General/Delete files (and delete
offline content.) It's often recommended that the Temporary Internet Files
(folder) be kept at
40-50 MB. Bigger isn't necessarily better.
If still no joy then have a look at this page for other issues.

Internet Explorer freezes

Hope this will help.
