I have IE 6 SP1 but whenever I go on a certain site, the whole screen goes
black and I cant see anything. The only way I found to deal with it is
restart the computer and not visit the site anymore. But one site I need for
school does the same thing.
 
Screen freezes or blanking with IE are most commonly caused by video drivers
that need updating. Go to the web site of your video card manufacturer and
get the latest drivers for your card. As a work around, try turning down
your hardware acceleration, color depth, and/or screen resolution. If these
work, then new drivers are in order.

Other causes are scripting engines that need reinstalled or updated:

Or the Java VM:

And, if you are using a McAfee anti-virus program, and it's set to scan all
files, try changing it to scan programs and documents only.
