Whatever way CCP coded eve, it makes your graphics card shoot up in temprature. But only if its the active window.
Every other game runs fine except for eve, which will easilly bring my graphics card 30degrees higher than CS:S. Eventually it gets so hot, it just shuts down.
Wanna know how CCP managed to melt our graphics cards and stopped our pc's being able to reboot. Surely they test these patches...

It is normal for the temperature to rise while the GPU is being worked :). And the new Premium content does tax the gfx card quite a bit.
However . . . I had quite a few problems recently, that I believe I managed to solve.
First of all, the temperature does rise pretty fast to around 90+ degrees Celsius, while INSIDE the station or just outside it. No such temps while in missions, pvp, gates etc - lots of models, full graphic effects - temp. is stable around 70-75. But near/in the station . . .OMG.
Since the thermal shutdown threashold of my graphic chip is somewhere aorund 127 Celsius, I`m not that worried by the high temeperatures. This process does happen in any modern 3D game you play - just launch the app. that suits your gfx card - or Ati Tool regardless of manufacturer - and log the temperatures. Check the log file after, you will see the increases in any game, EVE included.
But, as I said, I experienced some problems - one system shutdown 2-3 days ago that I attributed to a freak occurence and not hight temperatures , since I`ve been unable to reproduce it so far. And believe me, I tried and stressed the card to it`s max. So no HW problems on my end. The thing that drove me nuts was that EVE just froze on random times - i.e. 2 minutes after launch, or 30 minutes etc.
I remembered that I modified one graphic setting in EVE - color depth to 24 bits w. 8 bit alpha - but only after extensive testing - temperatures , ATitool + 3d mark running at the same time (and at a snail pace as you can imagine, they are murder for any system) and so on.
Lo and behold, as soon as I changed the color depth to 24 bits (no 8 bit alpha) I had no more problems. The temp still is high, but no more random freezez. Might be a freak misunderstanding with the new nVidia Forceware drivers, I dunno , didn`t try to revert to older dirvers and test the 24 bit w.8 bit alpha on/off to see. I was just too happy that I could play.
Might help somebody, just try it.
P.S. - sys specs - C2D6400, 2 Gb Ram, Asus 7950GT, latest nVidia drivers (19.12.2007)

Every so often it just locks up totaly on me and I need to turn off the computer and turn it back on to continue. If I restart I just get a black screen after logging in and the fans on my video cards go to 100%.

Had lock ups and freezes a couple weeks ago fixed them by lowering my graphics acceleration in windows down a couple notches turned off the preium content and turned off all the graphics settings(I honestly don't really see a difference) and lowered the cache usage down to normal.
With these changes I have not had one lock up while using two clients and my lag/FPS loss is near non-existant.

I have now switched my GPU fan and although the gpu activity appears to be 99% at times as earlier, the temperature has fallen from allegedly 90ish deg to max 53 deg celcius.
Switching the gpu-fan was the plan all along. It probably voided the warranty on the gfx card, but I feel ok about it.

well, this is strange. i have the same problem since x-mas. I bought a newer cpu (upgraded my old 3500+ amd singlecore to an amd dualcore). Also the "problem" only occurs when using 2 clients. But i did not show up before my cpu upgrade.
Patches / Fixes for dualcore and newest graphicdriver (1900xt) are installed.

.. and it happened by different temps. 68 (kinda cool) and 90 (hoooot)atitool shows it.

Useing older drivers older than 7.8 is no good for me. I need X1950Pro crossfire support.

Have you tried the various flavors of custom drivers? Did not help me but worth a shot.
One guy said that installing older Omega drivers over his new drivers (keeping the new) fixed his issue. So it may be a setting/config issue, i would try that as well.
You can always get rid of Crossfire and upgrade your Video card.

Why would I want to upgrade? O_O
I don't need DX10 since I can't stand Vista, and these play all I have on Hight no problem.
Some of the custom drivers, drop the colour depth to in an attempt to raise the FPS of a game.

I've had a load of graphical problems since Trinity. Running an AMD 3700+ and nvidia 7800GT. I've trying latest drivers, older drivers but I'm getting everything from BSOD's to garbled colours, white ships & really messing up my PC. This happens on premium content and classic.
First time in a year & half I've had problems as such. Hopefully it'll get sorted soon though, seems quite a few folks are having similar issues.

This problem you people are descriping sounds identical to a problem I had in another MMORPG I used to play. I tried everything to fix it: First I cleaned and reinstalled my drivers, using varies driver cleaning software, reinstalled the game entirely, in the end I even formatted my computer and did everything from scratch, just to have the same problem still! I could not remove it! But, I found a way! It was not the best option ever, but I stopped having crashed and it was very simple: Windowed Mode. Seeing how the GFX card then both send game and OS signals or something like that, I never had a crash again. I recommend people trying to run EVE in windowed mode if they have this problem and see if it removes the crashes.

I have a problem like this too, blue screen of death, freezing after 10 minutes with two accounts
it started an hour ago so it is fresh, I haven't done anything to my pc in the last week, haven't changed any settings or updated anything
first it said there was a problem with direct x and then NV something .dll
it seems having more than one account going, the settings get entangled somehow with each other
example,
the white background that completely slows your game to a crawl, so I go on the other account which hasn't any problems and hit the esc to bring up the options and then close them straight away, the problem disappears on the other account and both accounts are fine
another clue was when you have one account going and then you try and start another, the second account just flickers the screen and everything is like a slide show and very hard to quit anything
the settings aren't being remembered or the accounts are clashing somehow, fighting for the same resources
my theory is resetting the settings to the default settings everytime, I mean every setting, I don't think this will work because they are trying to fight over resources ( not all the time ) some of the time
dunno, I had the blue screen of death about a months ago as well but it disappeared
going to run the eve log and see if I can reproduce this and hopefully catch this problem

I had a very similar issue when trying to run the client with premium graphics twice on one machine (or even one premium and one classic). I only had one client installed and never had issues without the premium graphics, but when trying to play with two clients at a time with one or more using premium graphics my monitors would go black after a couple of minutes of play. I would have to reset my computer as nothing would bring it back. I recently installed another copy of the client and now I can run two premium graphics clients without issue.

My Nvidia 7900GS has been giving problems for a while now but only when playing Eve. I am running Eve Classic and I get graphic glitches and eventually a freeze which requires a re-boot to fix. This seemed to be linked to the amount of time I spent sitting in a station, so I downloaded the Nvidia Monitor View utility and started checking temperatures. With just the operating system running (Windows XP)the GPU temperature ran at a steady 61C. Running Eve and fighting NPC's in space (Worlds Collide lvl 4) the card ran nicely at 71C with no problem whatsoever.
However, whenever I approached a station, the temperature started to rise, and after 45 seconds just sitting docked without doing anything else, the temperature hit 90C and I started to have grahical problems. Is this just happening with Nvidia cards or are other cards similarly stressed by Eve stations?

Disabling the "new content" and playing eve vanilla with 2 accounts is just fine (gpu temp max 73ŚC).
*wondering* the temp of the gpu might be high with 85ŚC on my 1900xt using the new content but like i mentionend above: the "crash" occurs while having like 68ŚC and sometimes with 80ŚC.

Same here! Whenever I dock my GPU jumps up to above >80ŚC. Making my laptop sound like an airplane because of the fan noise.

I have this graphic problems as well but only in stations.
I run 2 pc's with 1 cliant on each, the one on my older pc a p4 3200 with a geforce 6600gt has no problems at all, runs perfectly no graphic problems.
My other pc amd dualcore 64 3800+ with geforce 7600 sli has constantly graphic problems in stations. Graphics in station just bad, names of other players docked blured or station overview with swimmed out colours. Some times my screen jumpds from image to image and mouse pointer goes jumping from one place to another, then complete lockup and have to hardboot my pc, then it works fine again till some hours, or days and boom again.
Tried diferent graphic settings, running with sli active or only on 1 card tried diferent drivers. Nothing seems to help to solve this those graphic problems just keep happening.
Tho my 6600gt does not have any troubles, wierd you must think that a better pc with a more potent card should run better but aint so.

My wife and I have identical computers we bought on the same day. We use our computers for different purposes and she has different software. She keeps having the game unrecoverably freeze up on her, and I've never had it happen to me once. This leads me to believe it is a software issue. She doesn't have a problem with any other games. Hopefully CCP is able to track this one down soon, before she gets too frustrated with it and quits altogether.

playing with both accounts (both new content) and having the switch "load station enviroment" off . gpu temp didnt raise over 85ŚC during mission.
no vpu recover so far. and stable temp about 80-82ŚC while docked with both accounts.
