Hello everyone!

I started up EvE again about a month ago and have been receiving problems during and after EvE. Ill explain all i have done, and hopefully someone out there knows what is going on lol.

About 2 weeks ago i decided to download EvE online. At first start up everything seemed well and was running smoothly... that is untill i closed EvE or alt+Tab.

I got this X ------ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/829/57993204.png/

At first i thought it would be my computer, its a brand new computer and maybe the drivers are not updated. Everything was updated and running as it should. ( other games such as D3, CSS, Etc. are working fine) The only way i could fix that screen was to do a full restart or close my laptop, which puts it into sleep mode.

Frustrated, i wait a few days and all of a sudden its better. I was having no problems and life was good! As i continued playing for a few days i came across a wierd streak across my screen. I thought I was seeing something so I kept rearranging items and guns... When i turned my character (In Station) my screen exploded! Evil Now i have both problems and i cant seem to fix it. I tried Uninstalling, then re-installing. None of my games have this problem... Its just EvE, so it has to be on EvE's side, not mine... right?

This is what happened in station:

My new PC is an Alienware M14x R2 the specs are...(btw i love my Laptop, it runs great and have had no problems but this)

Windows 7
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3610QM CPU @ 2.30GHz
12GB Dual Channel DDR3 1600MHz
2 GB DDR5 NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 650M
750GB 7,200 RPM SATA + 32GB mSATA Caching SSD

Oh, Flying in space is just fine, i have no problems. Its just when im in station and exit eve. when i took the first screenshot (Red screen) i had to take it with my camera because the one on the computer showed my normal screen. Like nothing was wrong. Thank you for taking the time to read this and trying to help!!!

Have you overclocked your graphics card by any chance? Becuase the first picture looks like artifcat damage. (graphics card not stable or is ******)

The GPU is the problem there and its not software issue. IT is clocked to high or is damaged. If its factory overclocked you may want to get it back to reference stock or RMA it

It may be damaged, or it may not. There are other instances where this has been reported.

I have the exact same issue if I alt-tab more than once and upon exit sometimes. I either have to logout and login or reboot to fix it.

I didn't purchase a GPU (yet, but will be soon) and am using the onboard chip HD 4000. I know for a fact that is all working well. Not sure why this issue is still happening this late into the game development, but it's certainly not new.
