I'm running Windows Media Center on a Dell XPS. Whenever I try to surf to certain websites(but not Microsoft for example), I get a blue screen with the announcement that the computer is shutting down to prevent damage. The error message response on restarting states that it is a driver issue, but I haven't installed any drivers for several weeks. The Media Center works perfectly and I can play on-line games. The error is only with the browser, both IE and Firefox(which ususally crashes on startup) and only on cetain websites e.g. Wincustomize but not MSN or Yahoo. I checked the Knowledge Base but only found the reference to drivers that I'd gotten from the Microsoft Error Report. I've run a virus scan and it came back negative.

Anyone got any ideas.
