Ive been looking through the forums, and it seems that alot of people have their computers lock up when playing eve, but does anyone have their computer restart? I recently got a radeon 850 xl graphics card, and the problem popped up after I installed it, the computer constantly restarts after i start my eve client. Ive tried deleting the cache but that didnt seem to help. My friend who has the same system and also upgraded to the 850 xl doesnt have the problem . Does anyone else have this issue or know how to fix it?

Computer restarts are usually caused by overheating. Check to make sure that your new card is getting plenty of ventilation. Also check to make sure fans are running properly and there is no dust clogging up the inside of your case.

Also check what PSU you have as if its not powerful enough it may be causing your restarts when it try's to pull to much power.
For a new top of the range card like that you will be looking at 450W upwards of total power. << Insert whitty sig here >>

Another thing you might try is run DxDiag and put your card through it's tests to see if it fails or if the reset happens during a test. It's possiable there is a direct draw failure for one reason or another when it tries to switch to full screen.

Try looking at this thread here for other possible solutions. I was having this exact problem for months and tried everything I could think of, and everything that had been suggested to no avail. I ended up uninstalling EVE, and then downloading and installing the complete RMR client. That seemed to fix whatever problem I was having, though I never did find out what the root cause was... You might try that out. ---------------

I've got exactly the same problem...
Did you try to log the critical error system in
System / Advanced tab -> Error log button <-
After rebooting it's saying those files did crash the system : C:\DOCUME~1\%user%\LOCALS~1\Temp\WERa31c.dir00\Mini010206-01.dmp C:\DOCUME~1\%user%\LOCALS~1\Temp\WERa31c.dir00\sysdata.xml
C:\DOCUME~1\%user%\LOCALS~1\Temp\WERe707.dir00\Mini010206-02.dmp C:\DOCUME~1\%user%\LOCALS~1\Temp\WERe707.dir00\sysdata.xml

The mighty Bluescreen (of Death) told me :
Infinite loop on
nv4_disp
*STOP 0x000000EA (0xFF2740C8, 0x82BB9580, 0xF8B2DCB4, 0x00000001)
Begin to unload memory...
--------------------------------------------------------------
I'm concluding these problems are linked to the NVIDIA drivers. I've tested with very old NVIDIA drivers, this problem didn't appear, but it wasn't nonetheless working :)
Even removing manually the graphic drivers and reinstall the last ones don't work, I've tried already :p
Waiting new sfrom CCP now...

I apologise if you have already tried this, but does your new card require it's own power connector from the PSU?
My 6600GT rebooted when I tried to run games when I first got it, it made it to Windows ok. What happens is some of the high-end AGP cards require more power than the AGP slot can deliver, so you actually need to plug in the same kind of connector the hard disks and CDROMs use.
Have a look and see if this is your issue,

For my part it's a Ti4200, there's no need of this ;)
I've been playing Eve for month, before this problem succeed... :)
Thanks ;)

Hi all, I am experiencing also some kind of reboot problems. First I was thinking of a cpu overheating and I changed the fan, now my cpu temp is much lower (51¦ max) but I am still experiencing some unwanted reboots. Figured out that it was when I was playing with both my main and second account (one on each screen) that those reboots where happening. It really seems that my 6600 GT Pcie can't drain enough power from the Pcie slot as it also doesn't have a power plug on it. I really don't feel like changing it as I just bought it. Anyone having a clue on what I can do ?

Well i'm also having those stupid comp reboots/BSOD's. One is related to the sound, and aslong sound is completely turned off it doesn't happen very often. (Dunno the BSOD since i have my sound turned off, dling full RMR client to see if it fixes this) The other is related to nv4_disp.dll which happens every so often but only with EVE have had no trouble running long times of games like HL2/UT2k4/F.E.A.R., the BSOD on this one is: PAGE_FULL_IN_NONPAGED_AREA STOP: 0x00000050 (0xE5893DA4, 0x00000000, 0xBFA8C7C8, 0x00000001) nv4_disp.dll ADDRESS BFA8C7C8 BASE AT BF9D4000, DATESTAMP 42831471.
Using NVidia Geforce 6800 (v77.30)

Hi Guys!
Unfortunately I am having the same nv4_disp.dll (BSOD) problems like everybody else. I am running a Nvidia Geforce 6600 GT PCI Express graphics card. Running the game with Forceware drivers 81.98 or BETA 82.12 results in irregular crashes. Using Forceware drivers 78.05 gets rid of the BSOD hardware loop lockup but the game still freezes irregularly for 10-20 seconds mostly and XP complains about graphics driver has become instable and writes a minidump file.
CPU/GFX temperature is nominal, system voltage and power requirements are nominal - I have tested this with 250W and 300W power supplies (this is a shuttle XPC) - no difference. I also tried disabling onboard audio drivers, switching RAM CLK speeds, going from fullscreen to windowed screen, turning off ingame effects such as 'sun occluded by ships', etc. Didn't really help.
What I noticed is that using Forceware 78.05 drivers other games which were rock solid before such as HL2 start acting up. :-)
I think there might be a problem with the Direct3D implementation, maybe someone could analyse the minidump files to figure out what's going on?
Cheers!

I have been haveing the same or related problem. My pc crashes and screen go black when i leave station or during hyperdrive. After i swiched from a geforce 6600 LE to my old geforce 4 4400 ti grapicks card all is fine again, no crashes after that.

I have problems with my laptop randomly turning off while playing EVE (only since RMR).. i use a geforce4 440 go, what drivers are you using? if i use the old ones i cant see anything in EVE as it is all insanely buggy/jaggy/unreadable text.. but the new drivers seem to be causing these current problems with EVE?

Edited by: Ashzell on 04/01/2006 12:04:47 CCP has suggested me to d/l stable drivers from NVIDIA (77.77).
http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_77.77.html
For my part, it didn't work either, the game is unable to launch anymore. (blackscreen / 99% CPU used etc...)
Could you please eeventually check this on your PCs to see if this solves the problem or not.
Reminder : don't forget to : uninstall your graphic card drivers, reboot, then install the new ones, and reboot again, then try Eve.

The FAN of my GX card is dead...
Check eventually this, this might help.

Edited by: Iavia on 05/01/2006 01:53:17 There is not one set of things that cause BSODs/reboots. And some of them are very nasty.
I fix PCs for a living and see these kind of BSODs all the time from all manner of programs. Nothing special about Eve :)
The most common causes:
1. F'ed up Windows
Just having Win ME or 98 First Edition (i.e. it doesn't say Second Edition) counts as having an F'ed up Windows. MS just made em and forgot about them. I wish I could.
Also your normal lists of suspects, spyware, virus, and the tools that claim to "tune" "fix" or "protect" your computer. Stick to one good virus tool and one good spyware tool. 90% of the computers I see, I see cause they are broken, and most so called utilities cause more problems than they prevent.
2. Broken HardWare:
The worst of the lot are dead fans. Check your power supply, CPU and video card. Dead fans get expensive quick, but are cheap to fix before they cause a problem. I can't count how many times I've seen a dead power supply fan, kill the power supply, that out of spite takes the rest of the computer with it. "It was making a funny noise, then it stopped so I thought it fixed it's self..."
That said bad RAM, and flaky mother boards do it to. I've seen CD ROMs cause this kind of thing...
3. Funky drivers:
I call this the gamers curse. When someone calls me about BSODs/reboots the first thing I ask is "Are you a gamer?"
Thus you learn "The Driver Dance."
A. Do not update you drivers unless you have a problem. B. If you have a problem update your driver. C. If the new driver isn't working try the one before that, and even the one before that. Some time's its the driver from last year that works... D.Don't bother with any of this if you haven't dealt 1 and 2.
4. Funky programs, not common but it does happen. I, myself have never found Eve to be the cause. But its the the most ôhardcoreö program that some people run, thus it can bring out problems that don't other wise show up.

Regrettably I joined this club after RMR. My system which was running 2 EvE clients at once now reboots at sparodic intervals giving me a minidump. MS online crash analysis says it is the result of a stop error from one of my drivers but cannot tell me which. Everquest2 on maximum settings doesnt cause any lock up. I downloaded 3DBenchmark program and ran it all night without any lockups.
1) I didnt update any drivers or install any new components after RMR. 2) Reboots only occur when playing EvE and no other MMORG or PC game.
I will try downloading and installing full post-RMR client as someone here suggested.

i just wanted to thanks Iavia for his/her clearful explanations !
For my part, I wasn't thinking the Eve was requiring such graphical performances...

I had the exact same problem, seemingly randomly occur last week. Load up eve. Stutter, blank bluescreen, reboot..
I ran that Microsoft error reporting dialog that came up on restart and it said it recognised the problem as having to do with the onboard sound card drivers for my MSI KT8 Neo (or similar) Athlon motherboard. I updated those and everything has run fine since.

I do have GeForce 6600GT and i have the same problem. My pc didnt have any bad habits like instant rebooting. When i start playing, i can stay online only for an hour max, then it reboots itself.. comes up with a serios "stop error".

not sure if you have already had an answer to this but i got random restarts after updating to red moon rising.
it somehow started DirectDraw stage 1 test to fail and reboot the computer, i just reinstalled directx9c to resolve that.
while investigating i discovered that installing the patch has also messed up my winsocks so i ran a tool called WinSock2Fix (easily findable with a google search) now i dont even get kicked.
hope this helps, and i take no responsibility for the integrity of that file make sure to scan all downloaded files befor running them for malicouse software.

Small update to my problem i forgot to mention, namely it only happens when i close EVE after a period longer then an hour (perhaps 2). It might be related to the memory leak =\

Had the same problem but it was when i was in belts, it was something to do with the sound drives. i went into pref.ini and put audio=0 and it fixed it. I Cant Read And I Cant Write But I Can Fly An Apoc.

I solved the problem by downloading omega drivers for nvidia. Skill train of rapid rebooting has been aborted :P
Still there's a problem tho.. Games dont work which need nvidia support for executing such as GTA:San Andreas.
Any different solution / thoughts?
