When I run my drupal 7 site on IE8, the page loads for few seconds, closes, reload the page again, and end up with website restore error.

It displays: Internet Explorer has stopped trying to restore this website. It appears that the website continues to have a problem.

But my site works Firefox. May I know what is the possible cause that makes it crash on IE8?

Thanks in advance.

I'm still investigating and if I find a solution, I'll come back and post again, but my site currently works fine on Firefox, Opera, Chrome, IE6, IE7 and my HTC mobile phone. Only IE8 is giving me the exact problem you describe.
I would note that a lot of comments around this problem refer to the maximum of 31 css files supported by IE. This doesn't seem to be the problem here and the Drupal module that fixes that (http://drupal.org/project/unlimited_css) says that it's fixed in the core of Drupal 7 anyway.

Maybe is the jquery problem that happens when loading JS before the CSS stylesheet and you have a body with a background-image, more info here : http://bugs.jquery.com/ticket/9823

I happen to have that problem my solution was puttion out the background-image rule from the body tag.

I found the same problem in IE 8 on Windows XP (home edition). Oddly, we had no IE 8 problems in Windows 7.

My site uses AdaptiveTheme as a base theme. This theme uses respond.js to enable responsive web designs in browsers that don't support CSS3 Media Queries - in particular, Internet Explorer 8 and under.

My site does not require responsive design support in Internet Explorer. Therefore I backed up respond.js that shipped with the theme and replaced it with a blank respond.js file. This solved the problem.

The following thread is a good place to learn about respond.js problems and resolutions.
