Well since the servers are down i would like to help some people out by saying if you are one of the people that are constantly getting fatal restarts and freezing while playing EQ and you tryed everything like memory tests updated video drivers etc etc like i did i finally found out that the BIOS was out of date, EVEN though i purchased this only a week ago it had came with 6 month old drivers, obviously it looks like the oldest possible drivers for this motherboard, i think updated to the newest BIOS it was fairly easy to do it will tell you many different ways in your motherboard manual, what i did was download the latest BIOS from the asus website then ran the Asus Update program that came with the motherboard CD and updated bios threw that using a file. This fixed my problem although  my computer is still running hot. Lastly it said something like it didnt even support the processor i have until like a month guy on a driver update so thought this will deffiently do the trick. Let me know if this helps anyone

I remember you getting teh E_outofmemory error, finally fixed it too eh?  This is good advice to do for not only troubleshooting but for overall general performance.  Just make sure you read up on it if your not sure so you know exactly what to do, cause if you screw up your bios when trying to update your computer may not start.
