Could be nothing to do with your PC. When you say "crash", if you just mean it freezes up and won't do anything, it happens to me all the time on here - basically, the longer I am on it, thew slower it gets until it seems to stop altogether. It only happens with this site, and at the first signs I log out and log in again.

This has only been happening since last weekend, it ran fine up until then and its everwhere i go, nothing moves, but as soon as i clear task manager its fine for a while
Some relevant info would be

Which browser are you using?
Which version?
If it's a tabbed browser (e.g. IE7 of Firefox) do you have tabbed browsing enabled?
Question Author
Erm not pooter munded but i know we got IE7 as for tabbed browsing ive no idea
Question Author
even my spellings going now lol it was supposed to say not pooter minded
Did any of the scans find anything?
Question Author
just the usual rubbish you get no trojans or major stuff
at least you said pooter not *******!

I think possibly you got clicker and one of the "blind" popup popupers that do popups which for some reason popup (or rather don't) pages which are no longer there.

additionally answerbank and quite a few other sites who use all this advertising on their pages seem to conflict .... if I've been here and then go to one of about 10 other sites - ie crashes (specifically it restarts)

it's partly bad page coding ... and partly ie7 trying to disable active code

ms will eventually fix it ... but don't hold your breath

for ***** read p00fter!

a non offensive nickname some of my chums who actually are use to describe themselves ;-0
