Hey guys, I'veOops been running two clients on the same pc, one of each monitor in windowed mode. Most of the time its all good but occasionally it crashes, usually if both clients are jumping or reloading or getting in a big fight.

I just made a second eve client following this guide so that might solve the issue.

I'm also thinking it could be my graphics cards..quick run down of my system:

AMD FX-6300 six-core
Asus m5a78l-m board
4gig ram
GeForce GTX 650 gpu
1 x SSD with my eve client installed on it
2 x IDE HDs with all my photos, music, porn etc.

the graphics card is a hand me down from my bro and thinking maybe the crashes happen when it overheats? (these cards have a history of heat issues I believe), but also 4 gig ram isn't great so perhaps that is the issue?

My mobo has on-board graphics so maybe I'll plug one monitor in to that and set the second eve client to use that CPU...though I have no idea how I'd do that?

Thanks so much guys

install MSI Afterburner or GPU-Z for temperature monitoring your Geforce card, it might give you a clue if it is overheating.
you can also fiddle around with clocks and pin your fanspeed at higher speeds in order to eliminate overheating.

in my case my GTX970 randomly froze in high load situations when i stepped up to a 4K screen using two window snapped eve clients. i am getting 99% GPU load in almost every situation, although i use v-sync (was about 20% when using two 1080p screens). pinnig fan speed to 70% solved my case, fan autocontrol just couldn't keep up with temp changes i guess.
