Browser crashes in windows 7 (64bit)

Browsers chrome, firefox, safari and IE are hanging on windows 7(64 bit), especially when viewing flash content.
Well dont ask me why I have four browsers installed, my work needs it. 
The browser stops responding, and then windows prompts a message saying, do you want to kill the process or wait. Hitting wait does not revive the browser, once it hangs, it just does not revive back. I also noticed the same problem when viewing pdf with foxit plugin on the browsers.
There is enough memory on the system, the browsers CPU utilization is below 1%, and threads less than 40.
On closer inspection with the task utility, when the crash/hang takes place all the browsers hang or wait on svchost thread.
This happens when I do a clean start (no resume from hibernate or standby).
More updates, if I can pin point the issue.
