Now sorry for the double post if there is already a post.

First i want to say sorry for any bad spelling or english or both iam not native english (not even close to that).

Ontopic

When i start game on full screen mode every time i go back to desktop the driver crash. Even alt tab can crashing my desktop driver.

I have try all version of ati drivers ( i use 2xhd5970) Nothing seems to work for that. So i use full screen fixs that works but
sinds you guys geuss it ati dont support more gpu in windows mode. So i can run eve great, and using only 1 gpu. But thats not the answer
I have only those crashed with eve online all other games i use dont have it. I dont want to point any figgers.

Any one have the same problems? or its just me...

My case is a little weird. When ever I return to a mission in a noctis to scoop loot and salvage, my drive (at least I think) seems to stop after a couple of minutes. I use evga precision x which allows me to see my card's fan rpms and temp while in Eve (really cool in-game display ftw). After a couple of minutes on grid with wrecks in a noctis, both card temp and fan speed drops, my fps (which is usually a solid 60 otherwise) drops to 30. Once all the loot is picked up and I leave grid, my card temp and fan speed starts climbing as normal again and my fps returns to normal. Really odd behavior, though I don't know if it is a driver issue since I don't get a desktop message saying the display driver has stopped responding/has been recovered. It always happens a) in a noctis b) after returning to a mission to loot/salvage and c) always returns to normal after I leave grid.

Don't know if it matters, but just in case:
