Kenneth_H_Lee was thinking very hard :
I am seeing the exact same messages;
Whenever I close a tab within IE 8 or close an IE browser window, I will
first get the "Data Execution Protection" window with the message "To help
protect your computer, Windows has closed this program." and when I close
that message, I get the message "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem
and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience".
This was occurring with IE 7 and is also occurring with IE 8, which I just
upgraded to. It is extremely annoying since when this occurs, my system
stalls/slows down while the dumprep is running.. before the error messages
are displayed..
Here is the information from the application log..

To many things it could be, read the 1st links, you probably will end
up using minidumps which should give the name of the problem.

How to solve Windows system crashes in minutes

This primer will show you how to solve problems quickly. Using a tool
that costs nothing, you can solve approximately 50% of Windows server
and workstation crashes in a few minutes. The tool is WinDbg, the free
Windows debugger.
You've probably never used the debugger, don't have it and don't want
it. After all, it's a developer's tool, not an administrator's, right?
Yes, but what you need to know is remarkably easy to learn, and even a
rudimentary familiarity with the debugger could enhance your skills and
your resume.
Still hesitant? Think about this: After rebooting a crashed machine,
we've brought up the debugger, opened a memory dump file, given the
debugger a single command, and learned not only that the cause was a
driver, but also the driver's name — all in less than a minute.
Granted, the debugger was installed and configured, we knew what
commands to use and what to look for.
But so will you by the end of this article.

Capture text from Windows error dialogs.
Grabtxt is a simple utility that enables you to capture the text
portions from many Windows dialog boxes. The captured text can be
copied to the clipboard (Ctrl+C) or used to search for details via
Google or Live.com with the provided shortcut buttons. The program can
be useful if you need to copy an error message for a bug report or want
to find out additional information via online search engines without
having to manually type the text. Grabtxt worked with most, but not
all, Windows dialogs that we tested.
Requirements: .NET Framework 2.0 W2000/XP/2003/Vista.
