As a long time computer tech I've got a finely tuned Windows computer. But today after being on multiple web sites with no problem my computer crashed with the BSOD - blue screen of death two times in a row as soon as I opened this web site. Reboot - reconnect to overunityresearch.com and boom the BSOD.

No other web sites were causing this problem. I had to go to TOR to get on here without it crashing. Anyone else having this problem? This did happen while using a VPN but other web sites were fine on the VPN.

Has something changed with the SMF forum software?

Sounds a bit strange, the web browser has to render the code and surely if there was a serious code problem it would be in the browser, when did you log in OK previously?

Sr. Member Posts: 352	Peterae, thanks for the quick reply. I was last on here on October 25th. I had used that VPN and browser here many times without trouble. It may be possible that a browser update recently combined with the VPN is causing the problem. I use a rather uncommon browser. I'll try the VPN with some other browsers but this site was the only one where the BSOD was happening. I'll update if I find more info. Thanks again.

Sr. Member Posts: 352	Yep, VPN plus different browser and there is NO BSOD. I'll contact the browser programmers about it.
