Thank you for a quick reply, DirectX Features are Enabled. This doesn't solve the problem.

The crash reports indicate a possible hardware acceleration related problem.

If it works with hardware acceleration disabled then what is against choosing this setting?

cor-el, When it comes to just browsing the web it is nothing against turning off the hardware aceleration. But in my case i want smooth playback for css3 animations, transition, jQuery.animate() etc. In other words i want it to work the same thing as it works in Chrome or any other browser.
