cosmos lightdarker	Posted - 2008.08.24 14:18:00 - [1] IO came back to eve a week ago after an 18 month break. The game had been working fine until yesterday when i blue screen crashed. Since then the client is crashing every hour or so almost all of the time while n deadspace complexes. I just cant figure out what changed in the past 2 days to cause this to happen.
Zephyr Rengate dearg doom	Posted - 2008.08.24 14:21:00 - [2] Premium graphics? Or old graphics? How goods your computer? What have you tried to fix it? Turning effects off etc? Also wrong forum.
cosmos lightdarker	Posted - 2008.08.24 14:25:00 - [3] Edited by: cosmos lightdarker on 24/08/2008 14:26:06 Hi yes i have updated graphics and sound card. im using classic atm becuase my esc doesnt work so i cant get to settings! I couldnt find a technical support forum only a known issues one and as fas i could see this wasnt a known issue. Im running XP with nvidea 8400 graphics and a standard sound device that came with the comp computer should be fine i played for a few years off and on and this time around i managed a full week before crashing its just been 5 crashes in 24 hours.

Nvidia cards suck!, I'm currently running a 8600 GTS and I get very similiar problems as you, if I alt + tab out it just speeds up the process of crashing.. Before that I had an ATI x850 an it ran perfectly.. the 8xxx series from Nvidia had loads of driver related problems, maybe try updating your Graphics drivers, or if you are currently up-to-date, try rolling back to a previous more stable driver. I still aint fixed my problem, so I'm just stuck in station training my character at the moment until I get the $$$ to get a new graphics card.. I can't wait to go back to ATI
Ricdics Corporate Placement Holding	Posted - 2008.08.24 14:43:00 - [5] Reinstall Eve Reinstall DirectX If neither fixes the issue: Run a system restore on your pc. It probably won't change a thing but worth a shot. If you still have no luck reinstall windows.
Joss Sparq Caldari ANZAC ALLIANCE Southern Cross Alliance	Posted - 2008.08.24 14:45:00 - [6] Please don't say NVIDIA cards suck - within the next two weeks I should be playing EVE with the help of an overclocked M260 and I'm going to be very disappointed indeed if it does suck even a little bit, Yes, also wrong forum. You really should try this one for such questions in future.
cosmos lightdarker	Posted - 2008.08.24 14:46:00 - [7] ok thanks all i have reinstalled graphics and sound drivers next ill reinstall eve see how that goes.
soldieroffortune 258 Gallente Federal Defence Union	Posted - 2008.08.24 14:46:00 - [8] hmm, that is weird i did have a similar problem on my first trial account, i would try to do some of those "public plexes" you see in high sec sometimes (like rouge drone infestation sprout or whatever) and every time i would go through the gate, the game would lock up but again, that was on the trial acccount idk, im going to assume you have had EVE installed for those 18 months, so i would just reccomend reinstalling it Originally by: soldieroffortune 258 "*Eve is about making yourself richer while making the other guy poorer*"

I can't wait to go back to ATI Nvidia cards are perfectly fine. I dual and triple client with my 8600 GTS (with up-to-date drivers) and it has yet to fail me once. From the sound of things, the pc in question is a couple years old. If that were the case, I would run some maintenance things, (Defrag, Disk Cleanup, etc.) most people tend to go too long without cleaning their pc up. I would also recommend using a fresh install, playing on and off for such large amounts of time is bound to pick up a bug or two. Better to have the newest client release than one patched over for years.
Drunk Driver Gallente	Posted - 2008.08.24 15:02:00 - [10] Your problem can be fixed by nerfing level 4 missions in Empire. .
Cilvius Sanctus Gallente The Order of Chivalry Nex Eternus	Posted - 2008.08.24 15:19:00 - [11] Also, you may want to get a keyboard with a working ESC key. The last EVE patch allowed you to change some memory values, so tweaking those might help out a bit. I'd probably suggest turning them down slightly to see what happens.
cosmos lightdarker	Posted - 2008.08.24 15:29:00 - [12] once again thanks everybody much appreciated
Sorted Low Sec Liberators	Posted - 2008.08.24 15:29:00 - [13] Run X86 memtest. I would hazzard an educated guess that you have a bad Memory block towards the upper limit of your RAM. Vote against the nano nerf! http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=832371
