Running Windows 7, the new version of Thunderbird crashes my whole system about 90 seconds after its launch.

The system hangs. Nothing does, do not move the mouse. CTRL + Alt + Delete does nothing. Only way to proceed is to shut down the computer and restart. I use Thunderbird for years with no problems, until the most recent upgrade.
I tried to restart and launch other programs, but Thunderbird leads to the same result. I also tried to launch Thunderbird, open the address book window and close the window of mail electronic mail. It always breaks my computer after about 90 seconds.

OK, this accident probably won't help us a lot. I had once more. Basically, it's a deliberate attempt to block Thunderbird when a setback occurs. Unfortunately, while we stopped crashes, no one has identified a single cause that we can hang our hats.

Now if overwrite Windows is something very different and implies something that has access to the kernel of the operating system level. It's drivers and anti virus programs basically.

IF safe mode helped try this in normal mode.

In the toolbar > Options > General Advanced and disable hardware acceleration.
