Hey Guys
Problem I have is that I will be playing Eve and suddenly the screen will freeze. Then it will go black and go into standby mode as if there was no signal coming from the PC to the monitor. If I try and do anything else the computer then locks up and I have to reboot the machine.
Now I have updated drivers, DirectX and updated windows and still no joy.
Just wondering if anyone else had any ideas? Strangely enough it only seems to happen while playing Eve. I can play games like Crysis, Total War 2 and other graphic heavy games and they seem to work fine.
I am running an
AMD 64 Athalon x2
Asus M2V Motherboard
Nvidia Geforce 8600 Gt 512mb

I have the exact same issue on my ATI AIW x800. I thought it might have been overheating but it never gets past 60c and I have run HL2 with full settings on for hours, as well as ATT 3d test which really maxes it out, and several other games. Issue only occurs with eve online.
I also though it might have been my CPU over clock, but I turned it off and it had no impact on the issue. It really makes the game unplayable.
I haven't ran memory tests yet but really if none of my other games have the same issue I have to assume it is an EvE issue. No change in how ofter the issue occurs since the new expansion either.

I'm having the same issue, I'll be flying around then it'll just freeze, can't quit, can't do anything but reset my machine. This has happened several times now, the screen doesn't always go black for me though. Sometimes It'll stay on and kinda stutter. Never though have I been able to exit to windows or close eve, computer just freezes up. 
As the others have said too only happens when playing Eve.

You guys should post the full specs of your machines, and what OS you use. Then we can see if there are any other similarities. I remember when we first started looking into the now know RealTek/975x issue many thought there were other reasons to it first.

Since I turned off premium content this has been happening to me. I'm ok in a station, but have trouble outside. The screen eventually stops, there's the windows 'beep' when you hit a button, then nothing, then the screen goes black. Back to the premium content I guess. ATI x1600 for laptops here.

So far, Trinity is a show-stopper for me. I can't run more than one or two Eve windows with the "Premium" graphics and have had the system fail running as few as three with "classic" graphics. Before the current graphic card update the failure was a visible shudder in one ore more windows, then an hourglass mouse pointer and inability to do anything in any window or to bring up Task Manager, requiring a forced power down of the PC to get out of it. Since upgrading the graphics card I can get out of this without powering down, but it happens immediately upon starting the nth Eve window and disables the entire system. Sound, of course, continues playing as if nothing bad had happened.
Before Trinity I could run up to seven Eve windows with a 7600 GT card. I spent $300 to upgrade to an 8800 GT card with 512 MB after the Trinity problems. This is better, but still a no-go for multiples. Today I was escorting a freighter, total of four Eve windows, "classic" graphics, and each one froze for 3-4 seconds fairly frequently. I could see the freeze cycling through all four windows in turn. This was the original problem I had a PC and 3 or 4 graphics cards ago that got me to try a non-ATI card. I've also had the white-out-in-space problem, not seen here in a very long time. The window affected by whiteout has normal fps in station but goes in the crapper upon undocking.

If your comp completley shuts down, and no activity is coming from your HD, you are overheating.
If you have a NVIDIA card, use NVMoniter and log your temps while playing (it should capture CPU/GFX temps), just to make sure. If you have an ATI card, use ATItool to do the same thing.
High end GFX cards own comps without vented side panels; i've battled overheating for over a year with a 6800; to run my 8600 i had to remove my side panel and put a turbofan next to my case.

I also have been experiencing the graphics card freeze problem (but for past 3 months!). Have to do a system reset to fix it, but it reoccurs after a little time in Eve. Not experienced it with other games at all. I tried turning off the station environment, which makes the time to freezing slightly longer. Before the Trinity expansion, no freezing ever in space. Now I freeze anywhere (pain when doing combat!) and the monitor displays the 'no signal' massage!
I'm running the ATI x800 card (256 mb ram) on an AMD 64 2 processor, 2048 RAM, asus motherboard (no onboard graphics).
I was wondering if it was a conflict between the ati card and some resident file from the Nvidia board, but see some players have the problem when using Nvidia crads also!

It is not an overheating issue for me as my temp maxes out at 71c using ATT 3D Renderer and my card can run stable like that for hours. I also ran a CPU stability test for 3 hours with no issues. Again this issue occurs ONLY while playing EVE, no change since Trinity; which i was hoping would fix it.

I'll join you guys.
My problem started a few days ago, like the 8th or 9th Dec. I have a X1950Pro, and the temp while running EVE is 57-58 C. Now, my monitor goes in standby after a few minutes idle in a station. I had no problems before that weekend, neither with Trinity, or Rev II.
I used the upgrade to Trinity, so now I downloaded the full client install tonight, and will try to reinstall the client when I get back from work.

It seems if I run it in window mode at a low resolution, it doesn't crash. I have 22" widescreen, to fullscreen is 1680x1050, I tested the lower resolutions one by one, and at 1360x768, it doesn't crash anymore. The temp is 56 C as I'm writing this. I don't really know what it means, but I thought I'd mention it

As the others have said too only happens when playing Eve.
Same thing here.
My setup is :
Opteron 146, 2x 512mb DDR400 PQI, DFI LP NF-4 Ultra, X700 Pro GeCube, 500W SmatPower II Antec Powersource, Dell P1110 21' monitor.
My drivers are 6.4 for ATI - 7.11 gives me that crap error where i need to edit my registers, 6.37 for NF4, 3.65 for Realtek. OS is XP Pro SP2 with .Net Framework II installed.
Before this i had a 8600 GT - what a piece of crap, i had the video stutter bug with it + the huge number of bugs when playing anything 3d - apparently many 8600 users have it.
Nothing overclocked, everything running at normal.
I would just completely blank screen while playing EVE, and need to do a restart - it is just great for my HDD data corruption. When running 2 accounts, it would sometimes start flickering and become irresponsive. I play in Window mode, game resolution at 1280x960 and monitor at 1600x1200.
Could be a coincidence but that usually happens when my sound is usually very ... active. Like watching a movie or having eve sound turned on. I have been running for a couple of hours with 2 accounts, and no problems but still have the black screeen with just 1.

I got the same issue.. After the patch, playing EVE is a roulette wheel. It'll lock up the video card and my monitors go on standby.
Reboot, things work for a bit and crash while playin' EVE again.
This also happens on WoW and FFXI as well... and NEVER happened until this patch hit.
Any help is appreciated

I have had the same issue last night. First thing I notice in my mouse freezes up, then the rest of the sim. Had to re-boot twice. Only happens on this character, not my main. Not sure what's going on.
I get errors on game exit and can't log in with the classic mode only. Had to install premium, then run in classic.

Suddenly had the same problem today after a number of days of being okay.
Have a fairly old system with a 9800pro and drivers from 2006 as found the ati drivers were dire to install successfully.
Tried accepting the driver update from MS update and then just got black screens on startup so had to reinstall the old drivers and tried uninstalling eve , downloading the full client and then reinstalling and still locked up.
So went into display settings and changed the 32 bit z buffer with 8 bit stencil (don't remember as an option) to 24 bit buffer and seems okay now. Res still the same at 1280x1024.
Also changed colour depth from 24 bit to 24 bit with 8 bit alpha and if you hover the mouse over it it tells you that was the original target settings when created. Also the interval to default rather than immediate.
Not sure what affect this has on the system mind.
Have now updated from 6.4 drivers to 7.4 drivers and still seems okay
Plus as am getting an X1950 pro agp tomorrow will no doubt have further adventures :(

Already have 24 bit with 8 bit alpha, but will try to lower the Depth/stencil format option to 24, and also change the Preset Interval when I get home from work.
I'm starting to get really tired of this now  I wanna play EVE again!

So, now it seems to be running stable. At least no crashing the last hour, and before it would only last a minute or two.
What I did, was install the premium client, and then disable the premium content. I tried using the classic client but that doesn't work, it has to be the premium. I'm also using the WarCat 7.4 ATI driver, but I don't know if it matters.
A little dissapointed that I can't see the new shiny ships, but maybe it'll work when I get my next gfx card. Going for NVidia next time for sure ;)

Heh, if you want to hear horror stories about nVidia, look up "stutter 8600GT" on google, or check their forums for the 5-6 months old thread about driver incompatibilities + cards overheating at 50-60 degrees.
I'm gonna try the premium content too, but when i get my 8600GT back, i doubt it will let me install with a X700 Pro.

hehe, I'm sure NVidia has their problems too, but I'm not going for a 8600 anyways ;)
and...ehm...I have to eat my words again...the client crashed. but it lasted over an hour this time!

I thought I was the only one. Although my machine recovers nearly instantly, this is a pain in the ass. Also, sometimes the current ship I am in will "eff" up like mad... [EXAMPLE]

Game runs perfectly on one client - but the instant I start the second one, graphics starts flickjering, and then the entire system freeze; have to reboot to get it up again. And no, it nothing to do with heat, both CPU and MB is running at 22-25 Celsius.

Oh, and it happens with both old and new graphics active...
