What is your internet that could be why its crashed or are you using wireless signals, from a router?

Since you haven't been very clear on a lot of template questions, I'll give it a blind shoot at first and if that does not work we can try to answer these.

Could you try to follow the complete instructions found here?
Please note that it contains more than clearing one's cache and that there are even different ways to clear the cache (with different results).

Thank you in advance.

Well the Cfg thing i hadn't done yet but still with no results -_- and i also cleared cache by deleting it instead of just using prefrences.

Which BYOND Build are you running (as latest is not a version number and could mean a lot of things, depending on whom you ask)?
Could you describe how you are trying to enter a game?
Can you log on the pager?
If so, can you download and play a game instead of joining one live?
What error message do you get upon crashing, if any?

You did not mention if you're running a firewall.
Did you check your running process list to spot any maybe hidden firewall?

Before trying to join these i turned off firewall just in case before putting it back on just in case of a virus.

A crash should not be happening at all. There are two possible culprits I can think of:

1) You may have a bad installation of BYOND. Uninstalling and reinstalling would take care of the problem.

2) You may be running in a 16-bit graphics mode. We've encountered some intermittent bugs related to this and we're still trying to patch everything up, but in the meantime it is recommended that you use a 24-bit or 32-bit mode.
