I am having a problem with my graphics driver crashing as I am coming out of a jump or when I am undocking. This only happens when I have multi-core enabled. If I am running limited to single-core the graphics driver does not crash. When the graphics driver crashes the screen flickers for a second or two. I have ran mem-test's, CPU tests, different driver versions, custom graphics settings in EvE and custom 3D settings for the card. Everything points to multi-core being enabled, that is as far as I am technically able to pinpoint. Technical support says I do not have enough video memory. They have also stated there is no reason to have multi-core enabled on my machine for Eve. Roll

Anyone encountered this with new Intel mobile chips? The old fix does not work on QM57.

Dumb question , but I am coming from fixing a similar type of issue (though not the same as yours) - but are you running the client in full screen mode? Attempt a run in fixed-window mode via the in-game options if this is so. If not, then apologies for wasting your time.

Thanks for the suggestion, I had tried this and it doesn't help. At one time this was a known bug with Intel chipsets integrated graphics cards. I believe a Dev fixed it after acknowledging it and something in the new update may have undid it.
