Fink Angel Caldari The Merry Men	Posted - 2008.04.09 22:10:00 - [1] I'm beginning to think this is something to with texture memory and perhaps a leak in something using texture memory. Is everyone getting the WSOD running more than 1 client? If so, when you get it, close down one of the other clients. That fixed it for me. I think this may be a similar thing to the "change graphics settings" fix. Something is happening to clear down GFX card memory, and it's OK. I don't have any tools to see what's going on within the graphics card memory, but perhaps the Devs could run 2+ classic clients for a few hours. By the way, this ALWAYS happens to me after a jump. It never just flips to WSOD flying about. However, the fix by logging the other client is instant. Also of note, I only (heh, "only"!) have the 320Mb texture memory model of the 8800GTS. ------------------ System Information ------------------ Time of this report: 4/9/2008, 23:05:44 Machine name: xxxx Operating System: Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 2 (2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.070227-2254) Language: English (Regional Setting: English) System Manufacturer: OEM System Model: OEM BIOS: Phoenix - AwardBIOS v6.00PG Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E6850 @ 3.00GHz (2 CPUs) Memory: 2046MB RAM Page File: 1023MB used, 2915MB available Windows Dir: C:\WINDOWS DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904) DX Setup Parameters: Not found DxDiag Version: 5.03.2600.2180 32bit Unicode --------------- Display Devices --------------- Card name: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS Manufacturer: NVIDIA Chip type: GeForce 8800 GTS DAC type: Integrated RAMDAC Device Key: Enum\PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0193&SUBSYS_040F19F1&REV_A2 Display Memory: 320.0 MB Current Mode: 1280 x 1024 (32 bit) (85Hz) Monitor: Plug and Play Monitor Monitor Max Res: 1600,1200 Driver Name: nv4_disp.dll Driver Version: 6.14.0011.6921 (English) DDI Version: 9 (or higher) Driver Attributes: Final Retail Driver Date/Size: 12/5/2007 02:41:00, 5773568 bytes WHQL Logo'd: Yes WHQL Date Stamp: n/a VDD: n/a Mini VDD: nv4_mini.sys Mini VDD Date: 12/5/2007 02:41:00, 7435392 bytes

I can confirm I've seen the login screen looking different too. It has just the background stars with no wispy space dust overlayed. I'd always assumed this was just a movie being played back, but it looks like it must be rendering the background on the fly. Thus also explaining why the GPU temp also goes nuts when the machine is just sitting at the login screen!
