I found that on my router, I needed to provide Port Triggering for EVE, so that when EVE is running, the router firewall knows that a response from the EVE server back to my client is coming.
That seems to have resolved my 5 minute crashes, although the big test will be tomorrow when I'm on for several hours.
Don't think that was mentioned in here before, and the Port information is found in the Find Answers section of this site!

good info but there's definately some errors in the tips for petitions...
ccp did NOT get back to me when I filed under "other" and their GMs are about as useless as **** on a bull.
they used to be better about a year ago, but I don't know what happened since then.
I have now logs from the logserver too. My directx diagnostic file, etc.
I don't know what anything means, I just need some help.
EVE keeps randomly crashing..
My drivers and everything are up to date. I'm completely confused.
HELP HELP HELP! PLEASE!!!!

something that might improve eve drasticly and cut down crashes by 50-70%
install eve on a different partition then ur Operating system. and give the partition its one 500MB of extra virtual memory. this will cut down sudden crashes, atleast ihope it does, it certainly did here.
the reason being how i see it is this:
when you install eve ont he same partition where your OS is, you force eve share the virtual memory page wit the system, which will slow down eve, and your OS at the same time, reducing effectiveness of thw whole system due to traffic of DATA of eve, and we all know eve is one hell of an application.
so if you install eve at a seprate partition, you give your OS its virtual memory back, and give eve its own fresh virtual memory. the only thing left to share is CPU and RAM, which isnt a problem these days, but hardisks are very limited still considering the technology.
hope this helps atleast one of ya guys :)

I would look at your SOUND stuff....ecspecially if your sure you did all the good stuff to your vid as you stated....
disable your sound in eve and play it for a while and see if your crash's stop....
soundblaster and eVe are notoriusly famous for not being highly stable for many...some go great, others have issues with soundblaster or sound in general...
hope maybe this helps....

This strategy solved my connection trouble:
I have 2 hard drives; one of 80 Gb and one of 300 Gb. EVE was installed on my H: drive (300 GB) and I had constant connection trouble. Whatever I tried, nothing helped. Recently I uninstalled EVE and moved it to my D: drive (second partition of my 80 Gb drive) and EVE ran smoothly and without disconnects.
So if there's anyone out there with 2 drives and the same trouble I had, try this out.

Check your IRQ's and make sure your video card isn't sharing an IRQ with anything. Winblows seems to like putting the first usb controller on the same IRQ as your video card...my bios doesn't allow me to specify which irq the usb uses so i just have usb completely disabled!
I believe this IRQ sharing would cause random resets of my computer, but only running specific games. Halo, Americas Army, and even Doom3 all ran fine but my computer would randomly reset when running C&C:Generals or Eve (much of the time eve would just immedately close).
Every once in a while I still get a blue screen with an error something like "driver irq not less than or equal blah blah <memory addresses> blah blah" I blame it on hardware and the fact that windows is possibly the worst OS ever. Too bad so many programs are windows only...I am a hostage.
To view your irq's you can click Start>programs>accessories>system tools>system information>hardware resources. You can see them all under IRQs or just the ones that are shared under conflicts/sharing. Strange how conflicts and sharing are under the same category. Maybe this is the winblows way of saying sharing is a hair away from conflicting.
In order to change IRQs you must enter BIOS setup and do it from there. You should be able to look this up in the docs for your motherboard.
So Eve could be the only program crashing or randomly resetting your computer and it could still be a system problem and not a game problem.

www.tek-tips.com <-- the best set of tec forums I have ever found. If you have a piece of hardware, they probably have a forum for it. I'm not even kidding theres some seriously experienced ppl on these forums.

Hiya....I am having this same type of BSOD problem. I will be going along great, then when I get together with some other members of my Corporation for some mining...I get this exact thing:
< IRQ not less than or equal......... >
I am running a Intel P4 2.8 GHz CPU, with 1 GB of RAM and a Nvidia Geforce 5200 Vid card with 256 MB ....
I will try the IRQ thing and see if that's the cause.....
Anybody have any other thoughts....its a real drag to not be able to team up with other people......thanks

About the IRQ error, I got that recently myself. Try running Checkdisk, as it is a hardware issue. Something about how the drivers update... not really sure. But yes, running Checkdisk does fix the error.

i found out my sound card was sharing an irq...
moved things around... couldn't completely get everything on their own irqs... my network card and usb are sharing.
at least the video card and sound card are on their own.
i have a very nice motherboard (i believe) it's old, but I bought it with control in mind. I can control a lot of things in bios and such.
I have to look over some settings in there for video and the ram clocking...but I don't remember all these problems in the past.
I have recently found out age of empires3 crashes for me randomly too. So does an old game, freespace2 (with babylon mod).
So I'm quite confused.
I updated all my drivers and the via 4in1's.
hardware:
Abit KR7A-133 motherboard
AMD 1600+
DDR RAM 768mb
Soundblaster pci 512 card (yes it's old and crappy)
Geforce4 ti 4600
---
other stuff installed in pci
- linksys card
- wintv card (maybe that's causing issues?)
any ideas?
thanks

I ran chkdsk and I've had no more blue screens (yet!) for about a week now. To think it was something simple like that  Thanks SalSar.

CTD issue - If you experience many random CTDs, especially if you're using WIFI, try to run traceroute software (i.e. ping plotter)on tranquility IP while playing eve.
I DO NOT recommend to use it as a solution, just a way to check if ic causes your problems, because it may produce unnescesary trafic if everyone starts to ping eve servers.
It helped me with my pre-RMR CTD issues.

For anyone with an Nforce *2* based motherboards.
Set your memory settings manually either through your bios or with nvidias system util, and set T(RAS) to 11 (Normally 5-8). Most memory install guides will recommend settings from 2.5-3-3-5(<-4th one is T(RAS)) and up, but for NForce2 based boards 11 seems to be the ideal setting.
Its a weirdness unique to that particular chipset, T(RAS) of 5-6 is actually a bit slower and really unstable, CTD's, reboots, BSOD's. Once I found the magic number when ripping my hair out trying to get Everquest II to run, all problems poofed and no (severe anyway) issues in Eve or anything else, even Prime95 was unable to cause any issues.

Dualcore users Note: Forceing EVE to run on a single core instead of allowing it to use both results in better performance and fixes the jittery graphics..
Task manager > Processes > right click on process "eve.exe" > "set affinity" > Pick one core. (remember "core 0" is the first, "core 1" is the second)
I'ma find a shortcut syntax that does this on application startup..
Technical: The reason some dual core (or HT?) users might experience this jitteryness (or worse) is because windows is constantly switching eve.exe to the opposite core whenever it thinks that might improve performance.

Hi Everyone
Going back to 1st page i can confirm that putting memory sticks in slots 1 + 3 is common practice and is recommended in both of my motherboard booklets.
1 Asus A7V600
1 Abit NF7 Series
This is normal and if you put the sticks in 1+2 slots you will probably get crashes/lockups etc.
Probably old news now anyway.

I like the idea behind the thread but I'm afraid I don't see how this is constructive. Expanding the game and adding more storyline is all well and good but none of the more major issues have been resolved.
I'm not trying to harp, Eve-Online staff need to seriously rethink their support matrix. Priority should always be given to stability in connection, info management, and the client side application.
If nothing else, the install should include some tips for WXP users to compensate for the program's pitfalls.
This relates to the game requiring cold boots to be played again. On top of that the in-game browser doesn't work and hasn't been corrected over the 2 year period I've been on and off as a player. When trying to connect to websites while eve-online is up (through internet explorer) network connectivity becomes unstable. I've gone through some rebuilds and various configurations, both hardware and software and all still resulted in the above CRITICAL erroring behavior.
I'd like to know what Eve-online support has been doing that's so time consuming...

With all due respect, this is simply not true.
I've run a althon mp dual processor machine with eve for over a year, running multiple accounts and runs smooth as silk without having to set the affinity.
There is a problem with AMD dual core processors and windows. Updated cpu drivers apparently goes a long way to solving the issue.
You are correct that specifying the affinity is a work around in those systems, but the problem is not task switching. Remember your computer switches tasks dozens of times per second, to move the mouse and all other tasks, so if task switching caused stutter, it would occur on single cpu machines also.
Cal.

I hate to say this, but reading your problems, there's something wrong with your computer and various builds iteslf. Sure your ram isn't flaking out? I run EVE on both my desktop and latop, with IE and other stuff running in the background with no problems (laptop needed that workaround graphics stickie up top though)..

Most motherboards now use dual channel memory. The linked slots will be listed in your manual. However, slots 1 & 3 and 2 & 4 are usually paired. Putting memory in slots 1 & 2 (and not 3 & 4) will prevent most motherboards from being able to use the dual channel feature.
And last I checked (tomshardware.com) hyperthreading caused as many performance hits as boosts. Go dualcore.

If your computer uses "Hyper-threading" make sure you are useing slot 1 and 3 on your motherboard as Hyper-threading will not work well if at all using ram sticks in slot 1 and 2. This cause many people issues.
Can you please provide a link to back this up? I'm not saying your incorrect but a link would be useful. seems odd because most intel motherboards with Hyperthreading use dual channel memory and the user doesnt have allot of choice when using two sticks of memory or even one for that matter.

Hmph..
Well,i have the weird problem..I have Amd Duron 1.6ghz processor and 128mg Radeon 9250 Display driver and at the moment 512mg memory and today the game just freezed totally after i played 2hrs..This is my 2nd day "today" well,now it's 2:02am but anyway and i was doing this Mission where i needed to take some stuff from steel factory marine plant or something like that and game freezed and horrible loading continued for 15mins and then i got bored and made the fearless press of Reset button after trying ctrl+alt+del which didn't work..luckily nothing serious concerning Net happened and Registry Mechanic did the job..i think.. :)
I was able to check my remaining memory with ctrl+alt+del and it showed 28mg:s left :( Please someone tell me that can i still safely start to play without that happening again or do i need to wait until i have 1gig memory..?

I'm a new player, have a similar system 1.6 AMD and 512 MB Ram different card though I think its a Ti4200 or something. I'm getting similar crashes also particularly when on autopilot and warping around stargates although my fps is very low and fluctuates greatly. I'm just assuming my system can't handle the busy areas. Will be interested to see if anyone has any comments. Am thinking of buying a new PC jsut for the game as it looks good!

Well..
Now i've come to the conclusion that i'll install Sp2 and only then i'll play again..I'll buy the memory to 1gig from current 512 before playing though :) My mind is torn apart every evening and day after work cau'se i can't play this awesome&beautiful game.. :( I'll buy Ati Radon 9250 with 256mg of memory when it supports Directx 9.0c "if it ever does"..
I know that my Duron processor sucks,but i'm still gonna play after i have Sp2,1gig of mem and maybe with this current display memory which is 128mb..
Regards to all Eve Online players out there =)
