Vista lockup

My Toshiba A135 laptop with Vista Home Premium just locked up solid while I
was surfing (nothing going on in the background). This is the 2nd or 3rd
time this has happened (don't remember if it was the same site before).
It's a site I visit almost daily on my XP desktop without a problem. I
don't remember that last time my XP box locked up it's been so long. I
could not bring up the task manager, both keyboard and mouse were frozen.
I'm current with updates. Is this common?

Does it lockup IE if you start it with add-ons disabled?
