Google motherboard monitor and let us know your voltages/temps while playing Eve. watch your voltages for a couple of minutes to see what the lowest it dips to is.
Ignore everyone who said wattage is important. Make sure you have a decent quality power supply.. name brand before wattage. A 300W Antec might very well be a better PSU then a no-name 600W.
Sounds to me like it's heat though... Be sure to get your voltages and temps while running full load (check after running eve for 5mins)
hmm.. short term you could try changing the plugin your Radeon is hooked into. I know with my 9700np ATi recommended it had its own line
Also, Athlons are fine at 90C true core temperature. A lot of motherboards don't read the true temperature. Most crap out at 60C or so.. Intel is less but I think their border temp is closer to what a motherboard might read.
though this does not sound like a temperature problem for your CPU.. but it's possible
Have you tried disabling VPU Recover, restartnig, then trying to play eve? is there anything in the backroun that might cause these problems? have you defragmented lately? this is pretty obvious ****, but double check it all before you start replacing PSUs and changing BIOSes.
Should also change chipset drivers if possible (dont know if someone mentioned this already)

dont bother flashing your BIOS unless it specifically says it fixes a problem you have. You can kill your motherboard if you mess up a bios flash
