Mourning Coffey Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I am a bit upset about SL lately... Been getting a black screen, then a white screen, then crash! I had Firestorm and it crashed, now I have Singularity and it crashes in the first 5 mins of entering the game. Please help...I am losing money!

Thinkerer Melville Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Here are some possible causes and ways to test/correct: Login fails? Lots of logouts? Summary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayesha Askham Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Without knowing what your hardware spec is it is hard to diagnose your issue. The symptoms you describe sound more like a local hardware issue than an SL issue, but we have no way of knowing really. Certainly it could do no harm to check inside your computer for loose boards and give it a clean out with a blast of compressed air from a can (got from the local geek shop).

Marigold Devin Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 If this problem has only been occurring recently, it could be because of a recent Windows update - check to see if your problem coincides with that, and if so, try a system restore. It could be your graphics card drivers need updating - did you check that? How are you for RAM? Or are you using Second Life while lots of other windows are open at the same time? Minimise clutter, move anything you do not need on your hard drive to other media storage - usb/DVD/ (cloud, if that's your thing - not mine yet, I'm too old-fashioned). Dixk cleanup and defragment. Run anti-virus/anti-malware software to check nothing untoward is trying to b0llo0x you up also. And welcome to Second Life Forums, Mourning Coffey - I love your choice of name (Bring Back Last Names Ebbe Linden!!!). And report back here please with things you try and things that work or do not work. System specifications are always good to add when you need some help with issues such as this. Remember computers like us humans need lots of TLC to keep them running ok. Wishing you luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigmoe Whitfield Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Maybe create a new topic instead of bring up a 8 year old dead topic, so it's fresh, also include the system information for the system you are using. we have zero clue as of now why you are getting it, what you are running, ect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
