I would appreciate some help with an unusual problem : my son was playing Runescape on the internet and the computer screen suddenly went black and then re-appeared displaying its content sideways - so I am currently propping my screen up on its side to view the content. I get the normal view when turning on the PC, but as soon as the desktop and applications are being used, I have sideways vision!!!

I have an errornotepad log called hs_err_pid3812 - Notepad on my desktop which reads:-

# An unexpected error has been detected by HotSpot Virtual Machine:
