[SOLVED] Computer reboots when I log into Runescape

whymegod33 · 06-21-2008, 11:59 PM

As of 2 days ago (right after a windows update), I can no longer play runescape without my computer rebooting without warning (no error message, just black screen, then it boots up - a lot slower than usual). I can usually log in, then after approx. 2-5 mins of game play, the computer screen goes black & then boots up. This happens if I load the game in IE 7.0 OR if I use an rs "toolkit" such as SwiftKit. (I had this problem with IE 7.0 a couple months ago, but was able to get around it by using SwiftKit. Now I can't use that either!) I restored the computer to a couple days before the update. I ran all the diagnostics/cleaners such as windows disk cleanup (I have win xp with sp2), diskchk, Crap Cleaner and Windows Live OneCare. I uninstalled/reinstalled IE 7.0 and uninstalled/reinstalled Java (to the latest update). I even uninstalled/reinstalled SwiftKit. (I know I probably shouldn't use this program, but it hasn't given me any problems so far - and I don't believe the program is causing this problem.) I removed the most recent windows updates and cleaned any dust out of the tower. NOTHING has fixed the problem! So far, the only time it reboots is when I log into runescape. This problem has me very aggravated!! (Mainly cuz I cant figure out whats going on!)

Anyone have any ideas what could be the problem?

Any assistance will be GREATLY appreciated!!! (Before the comp goes out the window!)

Thanks!
