anyone know if ccp will replace your video card if their falty game happens to fry it? im going for a third one.
and yes, crash crash crash...
A game cannot fry your videocard, if it did it just means that you had crappy hardware and/or crappy cooling on your cards. I'm running the game with 200+FPS and 300+FPS in stations and my cards don't go beyond 65C degrees.
On topic, crashes only seem to occur when you have fitting screen open and minimize and when you are windowed mode fiddling with fitting screen. I'm on vista64 but I got a friend with XP who crashes in the exact same situations.

I have no solution for the crash at the fitting screen, it seems to be Vista (64bit?) related, as corpmates with XP didn't seem to have this problem.
The crashes at stations or sometimes other places do seem to have a solution, it seems to be caused by your graphics card getting too hot (complains about a certain driver .dll at a blue screen).
What worked for me was setting interval from "immediate" to "1" at the graphics window.
Immediate was causing spikes in fps, which *can* cause your graphics card to overheat, "1" (I believe it functions as v-sync?) will limit it to about 60 fps and make it run more stable.
As for the system specs:
Windows Vista 64bit
Intel i7 920
6 Gb Ram
Geforce GTX 280
If that happened to you there is something wrong with your hardware. Thats a really new card and there is no reason whatsoever it would overheat on EVE.

And no, it's not CCP's fault your PC can't keep up.
trust me, my hardware can keep up. since i started playing EVE..
nvidia 8600 gt - 2 caps just explode out of the blue. luckly still works.
nvidia 9600 gso - intense heat while sitting on station, no longer works.
latest drivers? yes.
disabled effects on game? yes.
tweaking of driver settings? yes.
cooling? yes.
has this ever happened while playing other games? no.
most of the problems seem to happen while in a station.
so if this isn't a problem with the client, i donno then.
Funny on my 9600gt game works smooth as a whistle with all effects turned on&max settings ingame. The fact that you have to disable yours means that you have a crappy card. Yes I do realize you have a 9600gso but that still doesn't mean that the game is busting your cards.
Stop buying ****ty hardware. And what does "cooling?yes" mean anyway? Let me guess a passive radiator on the 9600gso or a small&****ty fan? This is how a gfx card cooler should look.
