I downloaded Speccy at around two weeks ago and up until yesterday, it has performed admirably.

The problem started yesterday, when I was playing an MMO with Facebook on Google Chrome. I decided to check on my CPU temperature, so I ran Speccy. After the window appeared, everything froze (I didn't even get the chance to see my specs) then the screen went black. I thought nothing of it, but then the same incident happened twice just a while ago, this time I didn't have the MMO running.

Here are my specs:

Memory: 2GB Kingston RAM
HDD: 320GB Western Digital Caviar Blue
Processor: AMD Athlon x2 2.6 GHz
MOBO: Emaxx EMX-AMD780G-ACC

Running WinXP SP3 and the latest version of the beta.

I have since uninstalled it. What do you think is causing the problem?

Dead video signal, I guess your graphics card didn't take to kindly to Speccy's probing.

What graphics card do you have??

Only the Built-in videocard from my motherboard. It's ATI Radeon HD3200, I believe. The weird thing is that this problem only manifested itself last night.

EDIT:
I saw that this was an issue in the Bugs and Suggestions thread, but seems no one there paid attention to it (not explicitly, anyway).
