<p>What I mean by this is that sometimes (seems to start friday and last till tuesday) my game will simply freeze up, and take my pc with it. The last but of sound (whether it be a game sound or even vent) will start replaying again, and again.</p><p>I can minimize after waiting about 5 minutes for it to do so, but then I cannot close eq2 (even using task manager) or even turn off/restart my pc without hitting one of the buttons on the front of my pc. Twice this has screwed me out of a raid, and I fear that it will eventually break my pc with all the hard restarts/shutdowns I have had to be doing.</p><p>I've tried running my virus scanner (nothing), spybot (a few basic things) and adaware (again, a few basic things) and nothing seems to fix the issue. So I was wondering, if any, ANYONE has any ideas what this may be?</p><p>Keep in mind the following things when giving advice please.</p><p>1. This opnly happens when playing eq2</p><p>2. is not a heat problem, all my fans are brand new</p><p>3. is not an internet problem, called them about this the last time (and during a freeze) and they said my internet was running perfectly fine during said "freeze"</p>

<p>I'm having the same freeze issues.</p><p>I recently installed a new version of Directx (version 9c) thats the only thing changed on my system, and i suspect this is to blame.</p><p>Any help?</p>

<p>It definately sounds like a problem related to your video card to me.  I'm no expert but I have had similar problems and that's what caused it.  The other possibility could be ram.</p><p> I'm pretty sure it has something to do with hardware rather than software, but I am NOT an expert with either.</p>
