So, for a while now I've had weird problems with RS: my whole damn computer crashes randomly every now and then and only when playing the game. I'm currently using win Xp and the normal rs clien downloadable from RS official page.

 

 

 

I've tested all the components and ruled out the possibility of a hardware problem. I've ran multiple freeware adaware/spyware/malware/whateverware programs, tested both Norton and Panda antivir programs and I'm relatively sure I'm clean.

 

 

 

Any tips what to do, where to look for? I'd avoid format c:\ as I hate reinstalling everything needed :cry:

Updated java? Version 6, update 7, is the latest.

 

The RS client uses Internet Explorer, have you tried a different browser? Such as: Opera or Firefox.

 

And have you tried playing RS with the IE7 browser instead of the client?

Client=Latest version of IE you have on your computer. As for your computer crashing, does it get a BSOD, shut down, or what happens?

Within last 3 years I've only used IE when I've been in a total must to do it, like for example downloading the Firefox installation files.

No and I won't use ie :P

Screen turns black and the computer boots after roughly a min.

Have you checked for malware on your computer? It could be you just have something that's causing your computer to crash. Also some system specs might also be useful.
