Internet Explorer 10 (Windows 8) crashing Apache
I had a similar problem and managed to fix it with the following solution. See IE freezes when requesting an EasyPHP/Apache hosted page.
As I already had a modern Apache, I just added:
AcceptFilter https none
AcceptFilter http none
EnableSendfile Off
EnableMMAP off
before loadmodules section. This worked like a charm.
My configuration was: Apache 2.4.4 and Internet Explorer 10
