PC breaks down during browser games..

[Maharishi]

I feel like crying. I updated Java and Flash, and no crash so far since my last post. Other times it happened within 5 min...

/cry

How the hell can something like that cause this to happen though? <.<

I mean, any program can cause a kernal panic, in theory. But a windows kernal panic should just cause a BSOD, not the stuff you were getting, and I would hope the mobo power button doesn't rely on a stable kernal.

So, fucked if i know.

Viruses are just programs like anything else. They can be designed to do any number of things such as turn off the hard drive. I would suggest visiting this thread and following the steps one by one.

Ignore my last post. Happened again, kept PC on for ~40 min with no crashes. It could be a really odd coincidence but i've never had it happen with any game, only with browser games...

Disable all other plugins/extensions while playing. You can do this by typing "aboutlugins" in address bar.
