Originally by: Duvida I'm running an HP Pavilion mated to an Nvidia 9800 GT. Prior to this update, I was able to run EVE with no issue. Now, if I run CQ, the video card's temperature climbs and climbs. So I had to turn CQ off.
Unfortunately, running in space itself actually runs my video card a few degrees hotter than before the update. Not so hot that I'm worried, but the card is now working harder that previously.
You could be a poster child for how not to setup a gaming computer.
You cannot buy some crap "Sunday Sale" "multi-media" computer, stick a high end graphics card in it and expect it to not fry at load.
I'm running an Alienware Aurora R3 with liguid cooling, and 875 watt power supply and wind tunnnels for my dual nividas.
I can 4 x CQ and the computer idles at 23-25 centegrade.
Now you know that Sunday special is no gaming computer

Eve states the minimum requirements so if you have those it should work otherwise they could delete those requirements and put the text 'we don't know' in the place.

Edited by: Alirissa Arji on 15/08/2011 00:49:06 So...
System Specs: Intel Core I5 2500k @ stock. with stock cooler(never goes above 48c even at turbo 3.7, even with two copies of eve in CQ AND guildwars AND League of legends running all at once.) MSI Z68A-GD65 Motherboard G.skill Ripjaws X 1600 8gb(2x4gb)RAM EVGA GTX 260(Reaches about 77C with above load setup.) Kingwin Lazer Gold 850 watts Power supply unit(PSU)
Everything is max. Not sure whats wrong, but if you have pc problems, look up overclockers for help with hardware. your Power supply unit is probably to blame, from the sounds of most of your problems with entire systems dying. Spike in voltage of 300 or so=death to pc.
You may not overclock your stuff, but because of their overclocking experience, they have a wealth of knowledge involving pc failure, so you may find useful info.

Having the same issues as reported by many players, my gpu gets to 107' when running eve (max temp with any other game 92 or 93') and at that point it just switches the laptop off. Have hoovered and made sure dust isn't the prob, up until incarna eve always played fine on my lappy but this issue is seriously getting worrying. My fathers laptop has already burnt out whilst playing eve and again only whilst incarna was running.
EvE software is now something I will seriously start to question.
Oh and before peeps say "it's your equipment" I've played eve successfully on this lappy for over a year with no problems whatsoever.
