Hello. I have a Dell Inspiron laptop that has windows 7 in it. I am using Internet Explorer 10 to browse the internet and it keeps on giving me the error "500 – Internet Server Error". Is there something wrong with my ISP provider server? What server is it talking about?
There are many ways to solve this problem. Try out some of solutions listed below
1. In Internet Explorer, turn off the "Friendly HTTP error messages".
Follow these steps-
tools -> internet options -> advanced.
2. Reloading the web page might solve this issue. Click the refresh/reload button, for refreshing/reloading the web page press F5, or Press ctrl + F5 to reload/refresh web page or type the URL again in the address bar.
3. Clear your browser's cache. Once of the most prominent reason of getting 500 error is cache. It might happen that your site has been stored in cache memory. Firstly, clear the cache memory. To clear the cache, go to settings options of browser. Then click on the history option. Clear browser’s history.

The “500 Internal Server Error” is a very common HTTP status code which means something has gone wrong on the website’s server but the server cannot identify what the exact problem is. This problem is on the server side which you have no control over. If you encounter this problem on a website you visited, there are few things you can try to troubleshoot the problem.
Try to refresh the page by pressing F5 or CTRL + F5 to force refresh. If this doesn’t work, try clearing your browser’s cache as well as delete your browser’s cookies. If this, too, didn’t work, try visiting the site again the next time. It is probably completely down at the moment.
