Camming causing crashes??

I won't swear to the timing of this, but it seems that since I got my new computer months back, the more I cam around, the more frequent my crashes. I can go somewhere with tons of people (or TP to lots of places) and maybe have some lag, but if I don't use my camera much, I can stay online all day/night without a crash. However, if I start camming around a lot - like you do when doing a Hunt or trying to find something in a really large place - then I seem to crash much more frequently.

I do have multiple versions of SL installed, along with a few of the third party viewers.

When using one of the older versions with Nicholaz, I would get the second window come up that tells me that SL has crashed and as soon as I hit okay, that window and the SL window goes away. With the latest Cool Viewer and latest SL that I've started using, I do not get the "SL has crashed window" - my SL session just simply ends - and it seems to happen sooner and with more frequency.

As I mentioned at the beginning, I do not really remember this happening before I got the new computer - or at least if it did, it must not have happen frequently enough for me to remember.


Here are the computer specs:

Dell XPS 630i Dual Core E8300 @ 2.8 Ghz w/ 4gb ram
Win XP Pro w/ SP 3
9.0c Directx
swap file define at 4096-8192 and currently at 4096
Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT w/ 512 mb


and the SL versions installed:
- 1.18.5.3 with Nicholaz BE-w
- 1.19.0.5 with Coolview
- 1.19.1.4 with Nicholaz EC-f
- 1.20.17 with Coolview
- 1.20.17 (straight LL version)
- 1.21.6 with Coolview
- 1.21.6 (straight LL version)


Any ideas or steps for troubleshooting?

Thanks

No help from this corner, but I have noticed the same thing, so it's not your imagination.
