Heya all!
My following problem is this; as soon as I open SK to play, I'm not into it for even 5 min. that the WHOLE system crashes; it won't respond to anything
and eventually the computer restarts on itself (before doing so the screen blinks and throws me a blue screen with, apparently, the error but doesn't
give me enough time to read what happened). I have checked my system and I have the drivers up-date, latest Java version and the minimum system
requirements for the game to run.

Also, when I'm browsing the forums I have this red banner up which says:

"-The selected file /tmp/filed8wQW5 couldn't be uploaded because sites/default/files/languages/es_e9263cd96f4442c781173750d0b7a8b3.js isn't

I have translated the upper text as best as I could.

First lets try getting the BSOD to stay up so you can read it. Right click on My Computer, Properties. Advanced Tab, and click settings for Start up and Recovery. Uncheck "Automatically Restart" and change the Debugging option to "Small Memory Dump".

Launch the game again until it BSODs. Then make a note of the Fault type, the faulting modules, and the Stop code at the bottom.

STOP 0x8E are very vague

STOP 0x8E are very vague errors. One thing you want to check is the Device manager and make sure there are not devices with yellow icons on them. You also want to do a full malware scan in safemode to check for an infection.

In most cases its due to issues with video drivers, but its not uncommon for Intel chipsets to have problems with SK, especially older ones like yours. Issues aside, you could stand to gain from low-mid range card to get away from the Intel IGPs.

The only yellow icon I have

The only yellow icon I have on the device manager is one regarding an external HD I use for backing up my works, which I don't think it has anything to do with the video problem at hand, since SK is installed in the inner HD of my computer.

So bassically I have to buy/get a new video card?

You can attempt to download

You can attempt to download and install the most up to date drivers from Intel. You will probably have to use these instructions to get them installed.

However, as starlinvf has already said, old Intel chipsets have a lot of compatibility issues with this game. Many people can play (slowly) on 945 chipsets, but few have legible text in game.
