Your GPU is 6 years old. In tech terms it's a fossil. In fact, on looking up the specs for your notebook, you have a 1.6 ghz dual core, with 1 gig of ram and a 100 gig HD.
And you're posting to ask why your 6 year old comp can't seem to run EvE due to hardware incompatibilities? You just. and I mean -just- barely come in over min hardware specs. And I strongly doubt those specs have been upgraded with CQ in mind. That is why you fail.
Trade in your dinosaur for a newer comp. Fred Flintstone has a better system then you.

Load eve? Perhaps, it does come in right exactly on min specs, to load the game. No where near recomended specs.

More likely he's trying to load into a station with CQ turned on. That notebook doesn't even remotely approach the min reqs of CQ, and so of course, can't load it.

It's a notebook so assuredly onboard sound. If you can even make the login screen, hit esc and disable loading station enviroments, or clarify a bit exactly when in the login process things are going bad for you.

Depending very much on what else he happens to be running. With Chrome open atm I'm using 115ish, utorrent another 5, windows xp is chewing up maybe 50.
God knows what kind of ram the sony software suite that thing almost definitly holds is chewing up. EvE itself tends to hovor around 800ish just sitting in space, doesn't leave a lot of room for anything else. His page file is almost certainly being heavily used.

oh please stop, if you really think this is the problem, then suggest that the OP deal with it accordingly. Trying to prove that you may be right is not helping anyone.
I already made a suggestion to fix the problem. Stop trying to load eve on a 6 year old system that just barely pinches out the minimum required spec to start the program and upgrade.
It's plain to see that his system is woefully under powered and unable to even start eve.
I'd further postulate that minimum specs listed for EvE are a load of wishful thinking at best. Those specs look more like, if you have a freshly formatted comp, with just cleaned fans and heat sinks, with nothing but win xp and eve installed, you might get it booted up to the title screen. -Might-.
**** and moan about fixing his drivers all you want, it won't do a damn thing. Drivers are not going to add at least a gig of ram to his system, nor upgrade his GPU. Which are the reasons for failure here.
You can't expect to run a game with a graphics engine released in 2009 to run on such a poor notebook, from 2005. You'd likely be better off trying to run EvE on an iphone.

I'd say inability to even open the game without BSOD is 'poor performance' lol.
Maxing out your swap file can indeed cause reboots and all sorts of messed up errors as data gets lost and chucked since it has nowhere to go. Entirely possible I'd say, given that he has a 100 gig HD his swap file is likely set very tiny.
Again I say the min reqs listed for EvE are optimistic at best. Maybe they can fire the game up on a machine with those specs in lab conditions, but a gunked up 6 year old machine full of temp files, old ****, grandmas free smilies malware, limewire, old torrents and other crap gunking it up. Doubt it.
Hell, that thing is so old I bet it still has gator corp spyware and limewire on it.
Let's do a fun experiment OP. Reboot that comp, let it fully finish the boot process, ctrl+alt+del and check your running processes. I'm insanely curious to see how many processes you have running, and how much memory they're eating. Check available space on the HDD while you're at it.

Oh wow imagine that. The advent of CQ prevent game from running on his hardware! Geez where has'stupid troll' heard that before? Ohhh, maybe his first post in the thread.
If you have the most updated drivers for that card, then I do believe you're **** out of luck, since they haven't updated the driver for the card in about 2 years. Wouldn't hold my breath on it getting fixed. Again, just upgrade your dog turd of a notebook.
Jesus 40$ should be able to find you something more capable then that.
Baring that, if you insist on listening to a bunch of window lickers who haven't offered one scrap of advice other then 'OMG UPDATE DRIV3RS LOL' without even bother to check if new drivers had been released in the last 2 years, then maybe try Omega drivers. Don't know if they supported that card at all, but if you insist on following the route of folly, try that.
