Macbook Pro Complete Crash within 10 mins

[boobavon]

I'm having issues with Everquest 2 consistently within 10 minutes or so crashing.  The way the game crashes is to freeze all motion/mouse, and the sound loops at a 1 second interval for around 5 seconds.  My laptop then restarts itself to the boot camp drive selection screen.  I didn't notice any known issues with MBP hardware.  Any help, or should I start posting dxdiag etc?

I wish you the best of luck trying to get this to run on your Macbook.  SOE does not have support for  that OS, yes even with bootcamp.  I hope some fellow players will be able to help you on this issue.

No support for Windows XP with standard Intel hardware?  I was reading the other post that I missed yesterday about crashing similar to mine.  Since Macdrivers loads ATI drivers, I think I'll try 7.7 and report my experience.

Greetings,While we do not test laptops or Mac computers for compatibility with Everquest 2, we can attempt to help you diagnose the issue.  Please provide the dxdiag and msinfo information requested in the sticky thread and we will see what we can find.

I appreciate the attempt to help, but I think after reading the other crash threads this is a bigger problem with ATI cards in general.  I tried to rollback, but there are no old drivers past 8.3 for boot camp on ATIs website.  We'll see what happens.
