Hi, Im still on my trial account and since I can only play for like 1 min tops im not to sure im gonna buy a regular account. This is the problem (wich i have petitioned 4 days ago, still no response)My comp keeps going to bluescreen and then restarts Microsoft claims its a videodriver problem and wants me to update the driver or buy a new graphics card! I have all the newest drivers for everything, a brand new comp and dont have this problem with any other game.
Im sitting with a AMD Athlon 64 Dualcore 4400, 2gig ram. A Nvidia geforce 7900gtx 512 graphix card. (Dont tell me I need to buy a new one.  )Soundblaster x-fi 7.1, there really shouldnt be any problems. Its not a overheating problem either. Anyways, would be thankful of any help. Tried all that I red in here without any results. Hoping for a patch or something. I wish ccp could atleast say something.

Hate to sound like a broken record, but have you tried reinstalling Windows?
If that doesn't help, it's probably a hardware error. Doesn't need to be your video card - there are plenty of other options, especially if you buy the cheapest stuff you can find with those specifications.
Reliability will suffer - I always make a point of buying the *second* cheapest, if I'm looking at price that way.
At any rate, google for memtest86+ and try running that. Preferably /before/ reinstalling Windows, too. It might find something; the memory chips are a common culprit.

Some games run into problems with dualcore processors. Don't know if EVE does (all I have is Athlon 64 single-core...) but here's a few tricks you could try.
Alt-Tab out of EVE and press Ctrl+Alt+Del to the Task Manager, under the Processes tab, right click the .exe file for EVE and go to Set Affinity, Uncheck CPU 1 or 2.
If you haven't already you can get an updated dual-core processor driver from AMD here:
http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/TechnicalResources/0,,30_182_871_13118,00.html
look for AMD AthlonÖ 64 X2 Dual Core Processor Driver for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 Version (x86 and x64 exe) 1.3.2
There is also a Hotfix for Windows XP w/ SP2 that hasn't been released normally.
http://support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?id=896256
If you think you need the Hotfix but don't want to have to contact Microsoft Tech Support you can download it here:

Hope at least one of those works for you.

Had same problem myself, but tried installing an older version of the graphics driver and worked like a charm for me

Ok, first of all. Thanx for your help Kad. But, im not intrested in running my games in less hardware acceleration then im capable of. I didnt buy a expensive card just to turn off the hardware accelaration. Anyways, I do use the nv4.sys driver. But I have updated my drivers as of today, so what am I supposed to do to get rid of this bloody driver then?
