i know this is a more software than hardware thing but i really need help and you guys are pretty clued up.
I have been having trouble with java for a few days, basicaly whenever it does anything it freezes up my pc. If it tries to update itself my pc will freeze, if i run a program like limewire using java it will freeze, if i try and uninstall java it will freeze! I dont know whats up, basicaly what happens is the pc stops responding to anything, i can move the mouse cursor for a few seconds but not click on anything then i hear a system beep and the whole thing locks up. I cant ctrl-alt-del to kill java the only thing i can do is reset my pc. The strange thing is that i dont get any error messages when i restart, it doesnt launch scandisk or try and report an error to ms like a normal crash does.
I looked on the limewire forums for help and they said it was a problem with the latest java freezing my gpu, their fix was to downgrade either the gpu drivers or java itself, i tried both and neither worked. I even tried re-flashing the bios just in case, but the same thing is happening! Im at the end of my tether with this and have no-idea how to fix the thing, has anyone got any ideas?
system:
nvidea 7800gt
epox 5lwa (mobo)
p4 3ghz
windows xp (sp2-fully updated)
java-1.42 (same happens with the new versions though)
if anyone can fix this for me i will be very very gratefull
