Beware BBC Football Website

Surely it can't be a coincidence that I was on the BBC Football website yesterday when my computer crashed and wouldn't start up again without using safe mode, from where a system restore fixed the problem, and then after a good few hours of being okay, I decide to try the website again, and the same thing happened to me again.

The crash didn't happen immediately. Both times I got a few minutes.

A kind of chequered grid appears around the cursor, then the computer dies. On trying to load I get blue vertical lines running down the screen, ten sets of 4 of them, and it can't load up.

I'll mention it if it ever happens to me again, as that website will not be visited by me again. Same for goal.com, while I think about it, which gave me two viruses a long time ago.

I'll miss that place (BBC), it was very useful.

Well, it did happen again, so maybe it's not that site. This time it wouldn't come on, rather than crashed when on.

I do not think the BBC official site has sth that crashes computers. It should be a problem of your computer you better look at .....
