Java causes PC to Crash

    My friend got a PC with WinXP and Java installed every time a Java app opens (tried both Firefox and IE) the PC stops responding screens flickers once or twice then turns off. Same thing happens as soon as I click on the icon to open the Java console from control panel. I can briefly see a 'blue screen' but it's too quick to read. No logs show in the Java folder and nothing shows in windows event viewer

    I tried creating a simple 'HelloWorld' class to see if Java worked at all, ran from command prompt no problem.

    Tried updating to latest JRE (6 update 17), un-installing re-installling JAVA same issue still happens. Also tried fresh install of XP and Java no change.

    My friends say it's also happening with Windows 7 with latest Java installed on the same hardware. Only difference in Win7 though is that it throws up a NVIDIA display error after clicking on Java then reboots. GFX card is GeForce 6600GT

    Anybody have any suggestions?
