Computer reboots when I log into Runescape - AGAIN

whymegod33 · 07-06-2008, 05:29 AM

I posted this before and was able to fix the problem - cant for the life of me remember what I did tho! Anyways, the problem came back when I followed instructions to correct an error re more than one virtual machine or whatever running (concerning Java). Now (again) I can no longer play runescape without my computer rebooting itself 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!)

PLEASE HELP!!!! Thanks!
