I just got a new computer like a week ago, and i downloaded mIRC to download stuff. It was running fine, downloaded a few big programs (1 GB+) but now when i run it the comp restarted. So i changed the settings where it said the blue windows error screen would show, instead of restart and i tried to run it again and like 2 mins later, the blue window screen error comes up. Why does this happen when i only run mIRC. I did a virus scan wit norton and nothing comes up can someone help me, please.

Sounds like it might be a HEAT issue...

Do you often notice your computer rebooting?? If you do,i would suggest cleaning out the inside,making sure your fans are clear and all.......

thanks, but it ONLY crashes (blue error screen shows up) when mIRC is running.

Have you tried putting MIRC into compatibility mode?? (Win98)

See what happens then :)
