Whenever I try to camp, my PC always crashes. Is there anyway to stabalize it?

Your crash may stem from a couple sources..

When does it crash? Immediately, or after a while?

Assuming it's after a while when you come back to the computer, I can think of a couple possibilities.

1. Overheating. Camping areas can often be very busy graphically. When you leave your computer, have your camera zoomed in on the floor or some other opaque featureless spot.

2. Sleep-mode. It's possible your computer is going into sleep mode. Some applications and drivers don't like that. (SL, being a program that requires a constant connection would be one). What you can do is go into your screen saver settings and click on the Power... button and make sure System Standby is set to Never.

I think it's Karma....

For mere pennies a night, you contribute to the sloggy performance of SL for others who are actually in game.
