Ok i know there is a lot of issues with 8 series cards and everquest 2. But none of the issues i find seem to relate to mine, So here's the PC spec:OCZ Stealth XStream 600W PSU - SLI Ready ATX2.2ASUS M2A-VM HDMI 690G Socket AM2AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+Point Of View 8800GT EXO Overclocked Edition 512MB GDDR34GB DDR2 800MHz/PC2-6400250GB 7200rpm SATA (Master)500BG 7200rpm SATA (slave)Windows XP 32bit (yes i only use 3.5gb of my ram)GFX drivers: 6.14.11.7519This setup runs every game i have(around 20 of the latest 07-08 games) flawlessly, its only eq2 i have this problem with.It logs in fine, it boots up fine. When its running i get a very respectable fps in high qualty even on raids. but for some reason i am experiencing what can only be described as random gpu crash's. the screen goes black, my sound stutters and i am forced to reboot. ive tried every nvidia driver available (inc soe reccomended). I'm pretty tech aware with my pc's but this has stumped me.This 8800gt is a NEW OC revision its not the same as the old 8800gt's and i do not sufffer any stutter etc like they did.So far i have tried the following and still crash.<ul><li>running on extreme performance</li><li>running at x2 aa(apparently that helps)</li><li>running character rez at high(not maximum as i would like) apparently that also helps</li><li>running at lower rez(1680x1050 is my prefered) ive tried a few lower ones.</li><li>checked to see if its a over heat issue, cpu stays under 55c and gpu under 70c so thats pretty cool considering. </li><li>Drivers for gpu, bios, directx(9c) are all at latest and upto date</li><li>I also ran a driver cleaner in safe mode to makes sure none of the ATI ones were left over</li></ul>Lastly my old 2600xt 256mb ddr4 runs this game fine with no crashs no problems at all, but obviously the 8800gt is is a much better card i can run better qualities in every game i own so i would like to see it working. someone please have an idea =)
