I am having Crashing problems when i am playing EVE and i want to know Why...What?

My PC:

-IntelR core i3 2,98Ghz(2-3 years old)
-2,99GB RAM (2-3 years old)
-MotherBoard (2-3 years old)
-ATI Radeon HD 5770 Saphire(850MHz GPU - 1200MHz Memory) (2 months old)
-Resolution:1920x1080
-600W (1 month old)
-Windows XP(maybe i should go for Windows 7?)


When i am playing it suddenly crashes with medium graphics, ussually after 1h or so...., i am always having this problem, and i dont know when its going to happen...

I ve tried it with less resolution(1600x1080) or even less but in the end it crashes...Ive also tried it with low graphics in different resoultions and it crashes...

maybe i my videocard isnt good enough for EVE at this resolutions?

I dont know if the problem is in my Motherboard, in my CPU or in my Videocard( the videocard has 2 months or so...)

I ve cleaned the CPU and the GPU with no results...

One strange thing is that the Temperature never goes higher than 50°C, never .(ive used speedfan,EVEREST and GPU-Z)

one time I could play for 30 mins or so with almost full graphics with a 48°C temperature managing my self the ventilator speed..., but then suddenly it crashed, the screen went black (or black with blue vertical lines) and after that the sound became: tatatatatatatatata...., so i had to reboot my pc.

I dont think its a videocard problem, but i dont know what to think..., i am going to reinstall EVE, if that does anything...



I can show you a log fo what happened when i started EVE with High graphics, it crashed in less than 5 secs... couldnt even change the graphics quality...

And put Graphics adjusted to Performance, i didnt selected the options manually...

Date , GPU Core Clock [MHz] , GPU Memory Clock [MHz] , GPU Temperature [°C] , Fan Speed (%) [%] , Fan Speed (RPM) [RPM] , GPU Load [%] , GPU Temp. #1 [°C] , GPU Temp. #2 [°C] , GPU Temp. #3 [°C] , VDDC [V] ,

Stop recording, couldnt get more, it crashed (screen went black)

I know its difficult to see, so ive highlighted the GPU usage %

Second Try ( i noticed the 0.000V so i tried another one to see if that was the problem)

maybe 50°C is too much?
maybe it crashed because it got 100% GPU usage or more?( not the case in the second try...)
maybe i dont have enoguh CPU or RAM?
maybe a software issue?
maybe i have an old CPU and a motherboard and at the same time a "new " VideoCard" (non videocard related problem, just old hardware?)


If you need more information please ask for it..., i am having headaches with this...
