When the system or a program has a "memory leak" well it cause the keyboard and mouse not to work and more in less crash the whole computer and nothing works and the only way to fix it is by restarting the computer? Or could this be a hardware issue(psu)? While playing a game the whole system just stoped nothing worked, the keyboard didnt work the mouse didnt work and i had to restart the pc, what else could cause the whole system to stop?

To sum that all up can a memory leak cause the whole system to stop? By whole system i mean everything keyboard,cd-rom drive,mouse etc?

Also should add that the pc was on for only 6 hours, and that i was not having no issues like this before i installed that jetico firewall, I uninstalled it and went back to the old one i was using and see if that could have been the problem, just was wanting to hear other people opinions

Thanks

Yes, a memory leak can cause that. However, so could a lot of things.

What leads you to believe it's a memory leak?

Truthfully im not sure,Just that it seemed to start happing when i installed the jetico firewall, I wonder if the coding in the firewall would cause the system to crash. why i was asking for other suggestions
