Java SE (Java Platform, Standard Edition)

I am currently running the newest version of the JRE
v. 1.4 update 5

Every time Java runs on my system Windows XP Professional crashes and I get the Blue Screen of Death. I attempted to uninstall Java but that would also crash my system. So I reformated my computer and reinstalled everything again. Still the same thing occurs. Java crashes my system. If I open a webpage with Java, the java plugin in the control pannel, or any app which is java based my system crashes.

I read elsewhere on the internet that setting Hardware acceleration to None will fix the problem. This works, but is not a viable soltution. I need my video hardware to run at full acceleration. What's the deal with JAVA?
