Yesterday, while I was redoing the inside of my place, 3 Stars and a Sun, in Scaramanga, my computer froze for no apparent reason. I waited for a few minutes but getting no activity after that I booted my system. I still didn’t know what happened. I assumed that it was just some random quirks. So, I loaded Second Life again to continue with my work and after a few seconds my computer froze again. I repeated it a few times but got the same result. Thinking that it could be my computer that’s having some problem, I did some test to find out. I cleaned my registry, scanned for viruses, defragged my hard drives, etc. I also cleared my Second Life cache and even downgraded my Second Life client. Nothing worked, my computer still keeps on freezing. Even OnRez freezes my computer.
Other more resource intensive games like Guild Wars and City of Villains ran smoothly but with Second Life it freezes and this only happened yesterday.
Since nothing was working, I stopped trying. My place was left in disarray. Walls with unfinished and non-matching textures and mispositioned objects were everywhere.
Today, I tried again and to my surprise Second Life didn’t freeze my computer. Now, what’s up with that! I didn’t know what happened or what got fixed but I’m so glad it got fixed. I was able to finish the work I was doing at my place.
Yesterday, Second Life was freezing my computer but today it’s running fine. What happened? I guess only God and Linden Labs know the answer to that question. LOL!

Sometimes, Second life might have outstanding bugs that made wreck havoc to ur pc from time to time.
i used to camp for a bit when the rate of camping was at 4L$/10 minutes. however nowadays camping isn’t as generous as it is before…so why bother? honestly.
there are lots of worlds to see, plenty of things to do in sl that you wont get to do if you spend most of your time camping. there are certain camping sites that are excemption to the rule, and my next issue will tackle that..;-)
shameless plug…lol.
i have a newbie makeover section in my magazine and it will always sponsor a newbie’s makeover. hodgepodge variety will help the resident look for freebies and great items to help residents out, without spending much L$. we don’t want to camp all our second lives just to look better or have a great Second Life, don’t we?
just my two cents…in my opinion, lucky chairs are better…
I want to thank you because u insprired in helping the “noobs” in clothing…thx
I also experianced this a few days back but not anymore…i hope the bug is cleared
Had no problems at all. Macs are the best. =)
Second life network is always buggy due to high server load and changes lindens lab tried to make. So, it is just another day in sl
I happend the same.
My PC Freeze.
Second life just keeps frezzeing on me or frezzes the computer or the computer crashes and it just don’t work… .EVER… i just want to play the game. Why dose the bad stuff ALWAYS happend to me with everyhting?
That was happening to me until I replaced my Power Supply Unit. It seems that my video card wasn’t getting enough power.
Kabalyero’s last blog post..JasonBoom.com Interview
I know this article was posted quite a while ago — but I’ve been having the same problem with SL for a month now — went from working perfectly for a long time to not working at all – my computer freezes and I have to reboot the machine within minutes of logging in. I had changed nothing in the system with the exception of adding 2 gigs ram about a week before the problem started. So frustrating – I’ve updated everything there is to update, scanned everything there is to scan, run diagnostics and registry cleaners and the works… I have several stores in SL that are dying slowly as I can not get in there to tend to them – and LL is practically no help at all… I’ve had like two responses from their tech people in a month on the problem ticket I started with them. Sigh.
I have the same problem.. It’s the video card drivers having something to do with the newest version of the SL viewer the 1.23-5 version. I’ve had a similiar issues with WOW and reverting the drivers to a much older version solved the issue
Now however in SL i have the same problem… Video freezes causing me to reboot manually.. I have a new PSU and am not a computer noob.. tried to do everything.. but i know it’s the DRIVERS.. Complain to NVIDIA especially if u have a 8 or 9 Series like me.. I have an 8800 GTS
omg my computer my good gaming omputer was working perfectly till about two weeks ago. and then boom it just froze with sl. not only does it freeze but, it also will crash my local network. help me im falling and i cant get up.
Glad to see I am not the only one that this is happening to, SL would freeze and or just crash and not just SL my whole computer because of this now I don’t know if SL is to blame but I been having some problems with my PC had to do a system recovery. I love SL but afraid if I install it again it will mess up my PC so I am torn on what to do my computer has always been fine but I think problems for me started when I downloaded SL with windlight a long time ago. I like SL and all and want to connect to my friends but it is not worth destroying my PC over and then I will have nothing. So if you know of any help I can get, I will be grateful.
Need to add that there’s several more stable viewers. some are illegal but they hard to find anyways. Especially if u not ready to spend some linden$. But emerald is most common ino. u shud consider tryng that.
I have emerald and love it but not until 3 days ago…it started freezing up every few seconds. Ive done everything possible to try to make myu puter run better with nothing available…I even uninstall things on my puter thinking it was holding too much memory causing the freeze ups like it did when i had less memory so I got more and it was working wonderful until now. So frusterating.
