My internet explorer has stopped working what do I do to fix it?

While I would suggest a new browser such as Firefox or Chrome due to them being faster, safer, more stable, more features, more support and their ability to block advertisements on anything web related, I understand you do not want to switch.

Therefore, what you can do is clear the browser cache, history, etc... Also, make sure you aren't running too many other programs so that your CPU, Ram, and disk usage aren't being taken up. Lastly, if that doesn't fix the problem, just re-install it by downloading it off Microsoft's website.
