Connecting problem

[Spirit]

Ummm.... english please?
I do not know a whole lot of the computer lingo junk crap words. I know the basics and maybe a little deeper than that. But what you just said was like a doctor telling me all my body parts using their technical terms... you know the ones I cant pronounce.

Yeah, I knew that, but what I meant was what is it? Why does it happen? What causes it?

Check your computer for any malicious programs, a buffer overload is pretty much the result of a Denial of Service (DOS) attack.

if all else fails, stick it into safe mode and run an antivirus then.

[Baalat]

the buffer overload, yes technically your computer isn't powerful enough to handle everything being thrown at it at that moment of time.

Not being to log in.... can't be just your comp if others are doing it too.

A buffer is a designated section of RAM memory set aside for some purpose such as working memory for a program If the system tries to put more data into this memory than it can hold it is a buffer overflow


so..like the gold spam and all else going on will cause this
