I have noticed that I tend to crash when initiating warp or when I'm about to jump or have just jumped.

Nvidia release new drivers today. 169.21 WHQL candidate. Will try them once I get a chance.

I wonder those of you who are having issues if your clients were patched. Anyone having issues with clean installs?
I wouldnt touch your drivers unless other games crash (thats not to say they arent the cause but if they worked with the old client then keep it simple).
First clean out EVE and all related folders. Reboot. Reinstall and run it without sound and low effects for about an hour. If its stable increase settings.
If it isnt stable, then look at your system. What have you installed recently? Anything change in last few days?
Another good thing is to run your game in Window mode and note your CPU/Memory load. Download pslist from MS and check out processes running in memory. Anything out of the ordinary.
I have been running tests all week long on crappy XP and Vista systems and was comparing performance. I have yet to see EVE blue screen either machine so I suspect you guys are having real issues. Its possible that drivers are causing an issue but try the clean options first and debug from there.
Good luck.
My installation was patched. Running on an extremely stable machine. No new software before patching eve. CPU usage low. I update drivers quite often and roll back if I see issues.
I have debated on doing a clean eve install. I'm sure more people are having the issue that don't post here or even read the forums.
It may sound funny but I only seem to crash and get the .exe error when I'm around a gate. Who knows.......

I find the crashes mostly happen when either i come out of warp and the docking request is accepted (but before the ship docks as I'm still in space when I log back in) or when I arrive at a gate and right-click to jump. It reminds me of an old issue on a different system with one of the old clients where warping to certain stations/stargates would cause the client to drop.
Yeah I see the crash mostly when jumping. I just updated drivers to 169.21. Crossing fingers.

Well, when I updated Nvidia drivers my crashes stopped... but due to some resolutions not available (for some unknown reason) I have reinstalled 163.75. If you are using Vista make sure you have 'run as administrator' checked. I also did that and didn't see crashes... not sure if it was the driver or the admin access that helped. So far 163.75 has worked with admin access. I also uninstalled eve and reinstalled after re-downloading the client.
