Right click on your desktop and go to properties, then go to Settings and click on Advanced. There should your graphics card there on a tab. Click it then go to something like information>>Driver Update.

I'm not sure if this is how you do it, but I think that's how I would do it.

Does your computer crash when you go to those sites in IE? Or is just in Firefox? I would try a clean install. If that doesn't help it have a search for the solution on their forums.

You could just disable gif animation.

click,
start, run and type in
devmgmt.msc
then press enter
right click that, properties
click driver tab
and tell me the driver date and version

if anything
http://support.intel.com/support/graphics/intel84...=graphics+845main&
and click Download the Intel Extreme Graphics Driver to update your drivers, cause i am almost certain they are out of date


and btw, i'd suggest to change the 'color quality' to 32 bit.. just so every thing looks nicer, wont help you with the crashing though

Alright, to block ads, you should use AdBlock as stated before, but if you want to just be able to stop the gif animations, use this extension.
Also it might not be gif animations that are crashing your computer. They could be flash animations, in which case you can use AdBlock to get rid of, or use FlashBlock to block the flash animations.

Hope this helps.
