This is getting extremely annoying and making Eve almost unplayable on one of my accounts.

Yesterday, (and a couple of days ago) the computer crashed on a specific game incident. The situation seems to be related to mass activity under TiDi.
Incident 1: As I know that has happened before, this time I used a HP Elitebook laptop (2 years old tops) connected to my 19" screen, with sound from my Acer desktop (haven't installed comms on lappy yet). Sitting waiting in station all is well, but on FC "undock" TiDi sets in and my HP crashes immediately.

Incident 2: Now I only use my Acer desktop (2-3 years old) and undock under TiDi is without any problems. Warping to Titan, more waiting - on FC command "bridge" in TiDi computer crashes. And the problem with this setup is that the Acer crashes badly not providing a working login screen for up to 2-3 minutes. (The HP didn't but due to the complex setup, restoring took as long anyway and the fleet was off).

Any suggestions appreciated.

First tests seems to indicate it was the graphics card that couldn't cope.
Swapped to ADM Radeon and now it doesn't crash in L4D2 anymore which it also did.
Waiting for the next fleet.
