Computer Freezes with Second Life
November 13th, 2007 by Kabalyero
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!
