I have a page that contains many script components (50+) and I am getting an error when using IE at some random instance (doesn't happen in Chrome or Firefox).
"Out of Memory at line: 1"
I've done some google search too and that reveals issues with IE handling things differently to Chrome and FF. I would like to catch this error and know exactly what the cause of that script error is.
What would be the best way to use a global try-catch block on that many script components? All these script components are on the same page. Looking forward to your suggestions.
You might want to try window.onerror as a starting point. It will need to be added before the <script> tags that load the components.

If that fails, you might try reducing the components loaded by half until the error no longer occurs. Then, profile the page (you may have to reduce further due to the demand of profiling). Look for a memory leak as @Bergi suggested. If there is in fact a leak, it will likely occur in all browsers, so you can trouble-shoot in Chrome, as well.
If that still fails to yield anything interesting, the issue may be in one particular component that was not in the set of components you were loading. Ideally, anytime that component is included you see the issue. You could repeatedly bisect the loaded components until you isolate the culprit.
Finally, forgot to mention, your home-base for all of this should be the browser's developer tools, e.g. Chrome dev tools, or if it is unique to Edge, Edge debugger.
And FYI, Edge is the browser that crashes, but that does not mean the issue is not present in Chrome or FF.
