just the other day i started up Folding@home and after 1-2min it gave me a error and than a windows popup saying Folding@home had crashed

after that all of my web browsers stop working (Firefox, Google chrome and internet explorer) and graphical glitches

and will continue to do it until  i reboot and will do it again if Folding@home has been or is running 

 

it has been working fine for 3 mouths until yesterday 

 

i did a bios update and instilled java jdk these are the things i did before it started doing this and could have had something to do with it

 

 

my computer beats all computers in a 1,000 NM radius

It sounds like it could be related to drivers, but it's hard to say if it started a few days ago after 3 months.

Could be a bad WU - easy thing to do - uninstall FAH and make sure you check option to delete work units. Then re-install and test.
