So, every time I log in eventually my drivers crash and my screen goes black, I can still hear but my video does not work at all and I have to reboot.

I can run mutltiple games on high settings for hours at a time with no issue. However, when I run Eve on high it crashes in ~5-15 minutes and on low it can take anywhere from 10 minutes to 2 hours. And, unlike the other people who have posted issues that seem to be caused by certain things, mine crashes for seemingly no reason it is just a matter of time from when I log in.

I was wondering if anyone (players or Devs or whatnot) had any advice on how to fix the issue.

Any help is appreciated.

Here's My Build
AMD FX Black Edition 8-core 3.5 GHZ
G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series 8GB (4 x 2GB)
ASUS Radeon HD 7790 1GB DirectCU II OC
1 Monitor

While playing, do you have anything else running in the background?

Also, see if you can check through the Event Viewer (Win7) and find anything there

I assume you've verified that you have the latest drivers?

Ah. Yes it was....an adventure....but I do have the latest drivers installed. That is actually what allows me to play other games, before I updated my drivers the blasted card was very unreliable, but after the updates it was all smooth sailing up until now.

No, not usually, and when I do it's a couple tabs in chrome, Facebook and whatnot, and Mumble.

I couldn't see anything related to it, (there were 10s of thousands of logs, I searched through the non-information ones.) Do you know what tab the log would be under?

Well, currently in the same situation as you, with nothing from logs either, but it could be something useful turned out to you, mostly Warnings, Errors and Critical
