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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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
