Question

  • 0

Your computer is well within SL's recommended specs, and you have done the obvious checks for evidence of overheating -- a common reason for unexpected crashes in old, substandard, or dirty machines -- and you're not getting any error messages from Linden Lab that would suggest that you are being disconnected by the servers.  The most likely explanation, then, is that you have a problematic Internet connection.  Bandwidth isn't likely to be the issue, but stability is.  If you have a sudden drop in ping time, or if the connection is dropping data packets, you'll get out of sync with the servers and crash.  The culprit is usually a router or a modem that needs to be reset.  So, unplug both of them from the power for a few minutes, then plug them back in and restart everything.
