Need help: computer reboots whenever java is initiated.
843798Jun 20 2009 — edited Jun 20 2009Recently received a used computer with xp installed.
Every time I initiate something to do with java the computer restarts.
For Instance:
in control panel - clicking on the java console.
online - using online storage service "adrive.com" to upload files.
installing - running the java installer for jedit.
Each one of these things causes a reboot.
I've deleted and reinstalled the latest java runtime environment, ran virus/spyware scans, deleted everything from the computer I don't need, and cleaned the registry, but nothing has solved the problem.
Searched for a solution on google and troubleshooting guides, but the terms: java, reboot, xp, etc; are all so common that the results don't come anywhere close to the answer I need.
