Out of curiosity I decided to do a system restore. Firestorm was borked ( as in it wouldn't boot up but it didn't crash my computer at least!). So, I completely uninstalled that, wiped the settings, wiped the registry, turn off Nvidia shader cache + delete the previous GLcache, clean install the graphics driver, installed the latest 64bit beta, put said 64bit beta in the exclusion list on Malwarebytes and Microsoft Security Essentials. So far I've been sim-hopping on some resource intensive sims (Such as Remnants of Earth and popular gacha sims), and I've yet to encounter the locking crash! I'm still quite paranoid about it since Firestorm borked randomly within the next few days last week. If anything does happen that leads to the same unusable Sl/Firestorm coupled with the same locking crash, I'll post any new findings here.

I'm hoping as well that it can be fixed without moving to Windows 10, I'm refraining from doing a system restore just to see if Whirly has any hints based on the stuff I posted. Even then, there must be something messing with the LL viewer AND firestorm, because the viewer did not freeze this bad at all until last friday, and I don't intend on repeating whatever happened to make it bug out this bad.

Here's a copyaste of the system info, I also run the 64 bit client Firestorm 6.0.1 (56538) Dec 13 2018 20:35:34 (64bit) (Firestorm-Betax64) with Havok support Release Notes CPU: AMD FX(tm)-4130 Quad-Core Processor (3817 MHz) Memory: 8174 MB OS Version: Microsoft Windows 7 SP1 64-bit (Build 7601) Graphics Card Vendor: NVIDIA Corporation Graphics Card: GeForce GTX 750 Ti/PCIe/SSE2 Windows Graphics Driver Version: 25.21.14.1735 OpenGL Version: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 417.35 RestrainedLove API: (disabled) libcurl Version: libcurl/7.54.1 OpenSSL/1.0.2l zlib/1.2.8 nghttp2/1.25.0 J2C Decoder Version: KDU v7.10.5 Audio Driver Version: FMOD Studio 1.10.09 Dullahan: 1.1.1080 / CEF: 3.3325.1750.gaabe4c4 / Chromium: 65.0.3325.146 LibVLC Version: 2.2.8 Voice Server Version: Not Connected Settings mode: Firestorm Viewer Skin: StarLight (Original Orange) Window size: 1280x962 px Font Used: Deja Vu (96 dpi) Font Size Adjustment: 0 pt UI Scaling: 1 Draw distance: 408 m Bandwidth: 1500 kbit/s LOD factor: 4 Render quality: High-Ultra (6/7) Advanced Lighting Model: Yes Texture memory: 1024 MB (1) VFS (cache) creation time (UTC): 2018-12-17T2:55:7 Built with MSVC version 1800 December 17 2018 16:54:13 SLT Screens of all of my Windows 7 updates: https://i.gyazo.com/70a4faafd95fc91ecf8eac28ebe351c2.png https://i.gyazo.com/e682068d55eea48f3fa5a0b8e2dde0c5.png https://i.gyazo.com/715f230fac243bcc756174f6318eed43.png https://i.gyazo.com/60e1c1bd70a6848e3d5b5e8f1257729b.png https://i.gyazo.com/41fb1078eac35d476f2342740eb32740.png https://i.gyazo.com/83fe106b468c1badb5cef27027eb526c.png https://i.gyazo.com/843cbccf6b4fa2af803acdcf04860e9c.png https://i.gyazo.com/79659d8a8138e0cadbd8efb7395c2bd2.png https://i.gyazo.com/aaf6daffb4f428a13733224d98dc56d2.png https://i.gyazo.com/d4c0ff849106d0a8ef8403d08c29a3a2.png EDIT: Did the crash again, no Kernel Memory dump generated in the Minidump folder :C

With the base SL viewer, it locks up instantly. With Firestorm, it's random ( either instantly or within a few minutes of just standing or TPing somewhere). When the crash happens, it just freezes, no blue screen, client is locked, entire screen is locked, all sounds stop, can't move mouse, etc. The only way for me to exit is to turn off my surge protector. I check the windows event viewer, everything is fine save for the "the computer rebooted without cleanly shutting down" as a result of my only means of exiting. Also my system runs at a constant 29-39c ( with either SL alchemy, base SL, or Firestorm on) and the freeze just happens with Firestorm/base SL viewer regardless of temperature. I also tested other intensive games such as Fallout 76, Monster Hunter World, and Modded Fallout 4 to see if it'll cause an issue, made my system run 30-43c but no intense lock-ups/crashes like SL/Firestorm. The viewer(s) also crash regardless of the resources I used in the back ground ( like having firefox/steam/discord all on/off at the same time. Unfortunately I do not have a MEMORY.DMP, but if it does generate after I try Firestorm/SL again, I'll post it.

I'm having this same issue, which recently became a thing last Friday. Also on windows 7, except I've been using Firestorm since 2014 and it hasn't crashed my computer hard until now. Thought it was a virus/malware/rootkit, did a scan and it showed nothing. Thought it was a Hard Drive, RAM, or CPU issue, did scans on all of those and nothing came up. Even opened up my PC, reseated my GPU/RAM, nope. Also did a COMPLETE clean install of Firestorm, didn't work either. Setting off Shader Cache and deleting said cache from the Nvidia temp folder almost worked...for a few minutes! But the strangest part is that this crash also occurs when I use the Standard SL viewer by LL...but DOESN'T hard-lock crash when I use Alchemy viewer! Something in those viewers must be causing this problem.
