IE 6 causes 100% CPU usage

[Harold Fulks]

I have an Intel P4 3.06 ghz and when I have Hyper-Threading
enabled, if I start IE 6 it randomly locks-up and CPU usage
goes to 100% and I can't terminate IE from Task Manager...
it can only be cleared by rebooting.

With Hyper-Threading turned off no problem exists.

I am running Win XP SP 1.
