Hey guys, I've recently reactivated my account (got nostalgic) on a new PC as my one kinda fried. At first I was getting VPU Recovery errors but have sorted that out. Now I am getting a game freeze, then a black screen which seems to crash my PC. Have been to www.canyourunit.com & it seems like I should be fine in terms of the system reqs. ------------------ System Information ------------------ Time of this report: 8/8/2007, 22:16:56

Describe the Blackouts and crashes. Does the crashes have an error message related to them? (Like most EQ2's players' enemy, OUTOFMEMORY Crash)

No, unfortunately. It just freezes, goes black & the music gets stuck. I have to reboot the machine completely.
