Playing Eve about 3 months now. Performed FLAWLESSLY! until that last patch. Now when I run the client my monitor resets its self. Not just once, but over and over and over and over about every second. I have to get lucky to click the 'I agree button', enter my PW and eve will start. But more time than not the graphics are totally Fubared and I have to re-log again and again and again until I get lucky and it displays correctly. THEN it's massively laggy and locks up continually!! Reboot, start the process all over.
This was a couple days ago. I made sure video drivers for my gForce 128mg card were the lastest. Made sure DX9.0b was up to date. Installed a fresh copy of the Eve client. If anything, it got worse. Along with everything described continually happening, it sometimes reboots my machine when it start the client or just shuts off the monitor!! ???? Computer's running, monitors off.
EVERYTHING on my comp performs normally, other games(online or off), applications, graphic demos, etc. etc. All these problems ONLY happen when I run the Eve client. And, allow me to repeat once again, Eve ran/performed FLAWLESSLY before the last patch. Once the patch was installed all this began.
I have been jacking with this for over 3 days now. Like I said, it ran FLAWLESSLY before the last patch and NO changes were made to the computer since it was flawless. I'm convinced it was some bulls**t in the last patch that fubared Eve for me.
I loved this game, played it daily. Now I'm FORCED to cancel my subscript because it has become totally unplayable.
Thanks CCP for turning the best computer gaming experiance for me into a steaming load of defication.
(Ok, I'll jack with it for another day or so but if I hear nothing from the CCP folks in response to my petition in that time, I'm cancelling and giving EvE and CCP all the bad pubicity this one p.o'ed person can muster.)
Grrrrr......
Eve has turned into a piece of crap.
I did it all. Uninstalled all my drivers, the Eve client. Updated it all, reinstalled it all. No results, lock-ups every minute or two, computer re-booting etc.
I even tried disabling the sound (audio=0 in the prefs.ini file) with no results.
It's unplayable.
I got a quick response to my first petition, the usual "try this, try that..., and no reponse to my pleas since. A "We are aware of a problem and will credit you for the time of unplayability until we resolve this issue..." response would be nice.
Did i mention Eve performed FLAWLESSLY before the lastest patch? WTH did they do?

I have had some lock ups the last few days, but im gonna point the finger at the p 0 r n I was downloading, prolly a trojan or something in my p 0 r n,
Well you dont by chance have norton utilities? running that may help.
post your system specs.. so others can see what ya got.
you sure that theres no virus or trojan
I know you reinstalled eve and it was working fine before the last patch, but sometimes a good format on a system will fix ya right up
did you try and delete your cache? remember to save that bm file so you dont loose your bm folders " god thats a real pita ccp"
if your really enjoying the game and all thats happened is its been fubared for a few days i dont think thats reason to quit . If it is/was the patch and something with your current setup didn't like the patch. Theres not gonna be a fix for a few days but Im sure they're workin on it.
did you send in your direct x log so they can see that
I dont really have an answer for you man sorry. rest assured thou if it was the patch they'll fix it.
gl man sry for your trouble

Its prolly SASSER or somekind of Virus.

Always blame the developers software, because we all know nothing, and I mean nothing can ever, EVER be wrong with your software/hardware

No p O r n downloading here. 
yea, i tried that first... ran the nortons, shows clean. Did the ad-aware thing, clean registry, yadda yadda.
I really really hate to do a format because everything else runs flawlessly on my machine. Eve is the ONLY thing causing these problems. Plus I read a few posts from other folks just as upset about this last patch as me who did that and still report the same problems.
I'm sure I'd calm down a little bit if CCP would just reply to my petitions with a "We are aware of and are working to..." and assure me I will receive credit for the DAYS of unplayability. I would go from this  to this  .

hmm ok so we can now rule out running norton, can rule out a virus and also can rule out any type of spyware or adware.
I fink you said your drivers are all up to date
hmm
you did send in your direct x info to ccp?
cache has been deleted, ofc when you reinstalled eve that woulda takin care of anything with eve.
seems like you've done all the basic stuff and then some.
did you install anything on your system , anything at all since the last patch?
also did this start to happen right after the latest patch was installed, or was it a few days later that you noticed problems?
these questions prolly seem redundant, but maybe your answers may fire off a brain cell in someones head that can help ya.

My specs:
Athlon XP 1800+
768MB RAM
MSI GF 4 Ti 4200
2x IBM HDD 80GB
Elitegroup K7S5A Mobo
Eve runs like a charm on my system, especially since the last patch which gave me a few FPS more on average. It can get quite choppy in certain situations but until now I haven't had a single lockup or any other kind of crash.
Even though I am running two different types of RAM (1x 512MB Infineon, 1x 256MB no-name) which can lead to crashes in other games I am not having any issues in Eve.
I assume something is wrong with your system. Well maybe it isn't your system, but pointing your fingers at the devs screaming "j000 broke my eve" isn't the way to go... trust me

DX9.0C could be the problem, I've been hearing from alot of people that it is very buggy and unstable.

Everything else runs perfect on my system. Eve ran perfect before the patch. IMMEDIATLY after the patch was installed Eve went Fubar. EvE is the ONLY thing experiancing these problem on my system.
I have done everything recommended by everyone to ensure it is not on my side.
How am I to believe it's not on the Devs side?
Ok.... going for the last ditch effort. Saving anything important to me on my second HD. Going to completely format FDisking incl.) my drive. Reinstall windows, new drivers etc. etc. and the Eve client.
If Eve begins to run nicely again I shall return to eat the biggest helping of crow ever witnessed this side of the Mississippi.
If it continues to offer me the same problems, I shall return to continue my flame vendetta against CCP.
