Computer crashes on log in Second Life.

[Dondiego Beaumont]

Whatever viewer i use.Firestorm or Second Life. As soon as i click the entry my computer crashes, not even logged in Second Life.. Virus check does not show anything.

Have the latest driver GeForce 9800GT and never had this problem before. Did all clean installations.

I have Windows 7 lot of memory. But how can the start of a program crash a computer?

All controls stop then and i need to make a hard stop and after some tries get it back to work.

On my laptop i can reach second life without problems ,only it is slower.

Does anybody have or had this big problem?

Take a good look at the various possible solutions at http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/fs_install_crash .  The very first one -- timing out because you have too many undeleted notices --  turns out to be much more common than you might expect, but it's only one of several possible causes.

There are several things that may cause the problem. Rolig's suggestion is a good first step.

When you ask a tech question include the Help->About... info from the viewer. It gives us version numbers and specific driver information that give us clues.

Also, does this happen with just one account/avatar? Or all your avatars?

It helps to have an Alt-Avatar to test for account specific problems. So, if you can make a second avatar and login, then we have a good hint that it is the account and not the viewer.
