Yeah, well I used to play Second Life quite a bit a loooooong time ago on another computer, and I recently bought a new laptop.
Every time I try to play the game, shortly after the Second Life window appears, my computer completely crahes (i.e. Blue Screen Of Death).
So I went on that system requirments lab thing on the internet, and it says my computer completes all minimum requirements and passes most recommended ones.
I think it could be a problem with my graphics card, i’m not sure.
