Windows 7 Keeps crashing/freezing when I.E open

Hey guys, i was just wondering if anyone can help me out with my problem:

My PC keeps feezing/crashing when im in internet explorer. Not all the time, not every website.. most the time seems as if there is a more complicated website that requires a flashplayer, or has more images or something it will just freeze, lots of black squares will appear around the cursor. This is really annoying me now, as im running a fairly new computer , HP TouchSmart 300PC, and all their tech support said to me: every time that happens, unplug your power cable from the PC for 10 seconds, then plug it back in. That way computer doesnt freeze/crash THAT often, i could run it 2-3 days. But then again once it starts, it freezes like 5-7 times a day. I know this shouldnt be happening at all though :(

I scanned for maliciousware/viruses (Norton 360+ Malware bytes) computer seems to be clean, tried defragmenting it still keeps happening! I could be in winamp all day, it wont freeze/crash. As soon as i go on IE. it starts. Anyway my system specs are:
