Sometimes when I'm docked in a station, one of three things can happen:

  1. the game stops responding and I can terminate it using Task Manager (lucky case)
  2. the system freeze and nothing can be done except to shutdown/restart
  3. the system crash and it either restarts straight away or show that collecting information screen (most common error is CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT, but other errors show up too)


These are more likely to occur if I'm in Jita (so probably related to station guest number).
Also likely to happen when I have inventory or market window opened.

Once it crash in that station, it will almost definitely crash again if I log back on, so I'll need to undock ASAP then re-dock, that will prevent crashing from that station for a while.

Sometimes the sound stops working just moments before the crash, and if I terminate the game before it crash, at least the computer wouldn't crash.

I just recently returned and forgot about this problem, I had this issue since a year ago.


This just seems really bizarre and I have no idea what could be the problem, and on such scale that it would take down my system with it, almost no other game does that.Cry
