Eve is crashing my computer

I have recently returned to eve, after installing the client I naturally run the game about 10 mins into the game my computer crashed. This happened time and time again, Fearing I had a virus of some kind and the crashing was not game related I turn my computer on and left it to sit quietly with nothing running. No crashing occurred, I ran a mechworrior game, and again no crashing.

I again ran eve and about 10 mins into playing my computer crashed. I ran the fix option and let it run when it was finished it reported it had repaired the client. I ran eve again and the crashing persisted.

I uninstalled eve and downloaded the three separate client installers from the eve web site. After doing a complete reinstall I ran the game but alas the crashing still persists.

The crash takes the form of hibernation with every thing shutting down but the computer is still on and has to be manually shut down by holding the off button, then rebooted again.

About two years ago I upgrade to the graphics card to a NVIDIA GeFoprce GT 430 and put an extra 2 gig of memory making it 4 gig of memory in total. The system ran the game with no problems even with two clients running, so I am completely dumb founded as to why eve is making my computer crash now.
