Hello,

Lately while playing with two account on 2 monitors my video drivers crash at random times forcing me to restart my computer. I can play for 30 mins and crash and then go longer a few hours and then a crash occurs. I have googled this issue and found some older posts about it, but nothing seems to work. I will list my specs below. If you have any ideas for this I that would be wonderful.

Specs
AMD 965 BE
EVGA GTX 560TI
8gigs 1600 ram
Running on max settings with AA disabled

Things I have tried....
Rolling back the video drivers
Trying the beta drivers
Settings to low
Intervals to 1 and default

Thanks

if your system is crashing.
Meaning, it is freezing to the point of no response and you have to reboot. Then it is an issue possibly triggered by hardware malfunction and not software ( specially if you've updated drivers. etc etc. )

the new updates to eve are maybe requiring just enough more juice out of your graphics card to where they trigger the fail.

Since it is after a while, i'm guessing it is thermal.

Monitor your temperatures.

Try other games or graphical punishing testing tools.

I wanna guess you have a bad video card.

Could be ram, you could always test that.
