I have tried different versions of Speccy in the past and each time I have run the program it after a few seconds it caused my computer to reboot. I decided to try it again with the latest release, but again it caused my computer to reboot. I noticed on the screen that the last thing being checked was the RAM. Is this a problem with the program or my computers memory, or could it be a clash with another program? Any suggestions?

I looked in C:\Windows\Minidump\ and it was empty. Does Ccleaner clear it out? If so, what irony.

I know this is a beta program so this is not a complaint, it is just for your information. I downloaded Speccy v1.00.125 Beta from filehippo.com. I installed the program and ran it. The details of my computer started to appear and then the screen froze, a blue screen flashed on for a split second and then my computer restarted. I tried the program a second time a few days later from a fresh reboot and the same thing happened again. However this time my computer failed to restart. I turned it off and back on again and the Bios screen didn't even come on. After a few minutes I tied to restart my computer and was successful. I have now uninstalled Speccy. While Speccy was installed on my computer I also noticed a slowing down of the system, which since it was uninstalled has gone away. I don't know if the two things are connected, but I thought I should mention it.
