Computer spec:-
3.2Ghz P4 HTT cpu, 800Mhz fsb
2 gig DDR 400 (dual channel)
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (256mb)
The thing is, it doesn't seem to matter what I do with the gfx settings in game or how I configure the gpu the game just does random reboots.
Before the last patch it used to do the blue screen (briefly) and then reboot but now it just reboots, it is becoming very laborious. Does anyone else have this problem or know why I am having it, any help or suggestions would be greatly recieved, thanks.
I have updated to the latest catalyst drivers and still no joy!

Does windows say anything after you have rebooted (if you have error reporting turned on).
Is there anything in the event log?

yeah I have error reporting turned on, no message appears after reboot. I don't know where the error log is, can you tell me?

I had same problem on mine, but I seem to have fixed it by turning off all the sound in EVE - not just the music. No idea what the hell the problem was, but it doesn't reboot the PC anymore. Try that, see if it works.

hmm, I will try it but not sure I want to play the game like that, I guess I will be quitting if I can't resolve it. It seems to have got worse since I signed up for a permanent account, shame really because it's a great game.

I seem to have the same problem. I'm guessing your running Windows XP? By default if there is a critical error (which used to result in a blue screen of death) it reboots. I turned this 'feature' off, and when it happens I get the following message:
Bad Pool Caller
<Insert nonsense message here>
Error code: 0x020000000 something or the other.
It started after the blood patch, and I have had it happen running a single instance of EVE. The problem seems to happen a lot more frequently once I run two instances of EVE (I just for a Power of 2 account). That's kind of a bummer, since I paid for an alt but can't play more than 10 minutes if both accounts are active...

Yeah, this has been happening to me too, but when my computer crashes, its at REALLY random times, and a lot of times when I'm warping into combat with a ship count of about 8 or 9 in the belt or whatever. It really bothers me, Dev's should get on this, has anyone petitioned this?

since the Red Moon Rising patch my lappy has been having problems. It used to blue screen me with a graphics driver fault i have narrowed this to an eve issue. Now with the Bloodline patch i can only last for about 10 mins before my laptop just shuts itself down.
Really hove the dev team can fix this otherwise i will have to get rid of my eve acc.

Random rebooting are often caused by overheating issues. Take off the side of your case and make sure that no "dust bunnies" are clogging up the fans. Then, leave the side off (and maybe use a small fan to blow on it) and see if your rebooting problems go away. If they do, then it's an overheating issue.

I had problems when I had just installed another gig of ram to make it 2 gig. This was due to my A64 CPU not liking me running 4x512 double sided DDR 400 at 400 even thought other games ran fine most the time. Runs fine though at 333 FSB, whether this is the same with the P4s I have no idea!

Random reboots happen to me only if I run more than one EVE client at a time. Its annoying since I'm forced to use a second machine to use my alt at the same time.

Same here, ever since Blood. Quite annoying, to say the least.

Ditto.. Its pretty unlikely that software like Eve would directly cause a reboot.. Most likely its a driver or hardware failure..
BTW, Windows is usually setup to automatically reboot on a BSOD.. (which usually also is caused by a hw, or driver failure)

Indeed User software can't cause a bsod. But it can ask the hardware/drivers to do something that trigers a bug/problem in them... and they cause the BSOD.

Yea, I should have been a little more clear on that..
For example, I had this usb wireless adapter "installed" (plugged in and loaded latest drivers) on one my computers(HTPC)... After installed, I started to notice the computer would randomly bluescreen throughout the week. After some snooping around and careful reading on the error message, I figured out the error was coming from a DLL for the usb wireless adapter driver.. Only really manifest itself when an application(be it an actual app, or simply copying huge files) would heavily be sending data through this wireless adapter.. Unstalled that driver, and returned that adapter, and got a different brand with a different driver.. problem solved.

To bad there isn't another EVE-client that actually works for all then

Same EXACT thing for me. Only when I am warping into combat will it reboot. Pretty much worst time possible for it to happen tbh.

I too have experienced this problem.
The problem definitely only occurs when the Eve client is running.
On a couple of occasions I have received the Microsoft Error report that has told me that a hardware driver has probably caused the problem. The annoying thing is (as stated earlier) it is obviously something in the Eve client software that is 'asking' the hardware something that it doesn't like, which in turn causes the PC to reboot.
My system spec is:
AMD 64 3200+
2 GIG DDR400 RAM (4x512MB)
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB graphics card
Windows XP (sp2)
It would be nice to know what the underlying cause of this problem is so that we could all take the necessary action to stop this from interfering with our Eve-time

Might be your CPU. Graphics card/CPU not getting the power so it restarts, resets the voltages and gets what it needs.

Kinda same thing to me aswell, though I narrowed it down to happen when combat is close or I am in combat... which have been bad for my ships, not always auto warp me out in time 
Someone also mention sound as problem, but I have never had any problems with my MSI motherboards on-board sound system. Though I did have loads of problem with my old Soundblaster Live, removed that and never had any problem since Will try switch off the sound though, but I'm not accepting that as a solution just to try narrowing it down.
1 factor that repeats is ATI though..
Hope we figure it out, Im not risking going into much combat for now..

I used to have problems on my old computer with random reboots, running EVE in windowed mode solved them. God knows why.

I've heard that turning the sound off can help solve the problem. Anyone know? I have an audigy 2 myself.

My computer rebooted too when playing eve, nowhere else. I could run all possible versions of 3DMark, SuperPrime etc, but when I played EVE the computer rebooted when fighting. I tried puting my memory timings back to standard and voila, no more reboots.

I have those BSODs also, dump analysis blames it on cmuda.sys, what is a integrated soundchip driver, 5.12.1.38, WHQL sertified, dxdiag passes all tests.
*Discovered that thing after changed motherboards, nVidia didnt have that error.

I had the same problem a couple of months ago, i tried everything, reinstalling the game, running antivirus and antispyware, latest video card drivers.. and kept being booted.. i got an error message saying that hardware drivers were causing the problem, but it did not happen when i turned off sound on the options screen.
So i ditched my audigy drivers and installed the ones i got from www.kxproject.com, these guys are making drivers for all the line of soundblaster cards.
So if you have a soundblaster card try these, they will help and now i play with sound and have never got a reboot since then.
