Crashing since 27 Feb

[Jack Orb]

<p>I've been CTD occasionally (some days frequently) since 27 Feb.  The game was absolutely fine before that point.  I've done the usual diagnostics and everything is fine.</p><p>I first reported it in <a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?start=0&topic_id=472092#5257661" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/...=472092#5257661</a> where you'll find my 3rd crash log of the 27th Feb.  Links to further crash logs:</p><p><a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4361339/eq2_crash_logs/EQ2_crash_2010_02_28a.log" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4361339/eq2...2010_02_28a.log</a></p><p><a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4361339/eq2_crash_logs/EQ2_crash_2010_03_03a.log" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4361339/eq2...2010_03_03a.log</a></p>

<p>I've noticed the same thing and it's always when  I use the in-game browser... mostly when I close it.</p>

<p>I can can't tie my own problems to the browser.  It does seem to happen most on Kerra Isle in Sundered Frontier but I've had it happen in a number of zones including one quiet instance (i.e I zoned in alone) - Halls of Fate.</p>

<p>I see in the crash log you're running nVidia drivers, but what version?  You said it started recently; is there any chance you recently updated your nVidia drivers?  There is a bug in version 196.75 that is actually physically killing people's videocards -- cards would go over 220 degrees and fry themselves (nVidia has since pulled that version off their website).</p><p>You can also try installing Firefox, and copying the newer xul.dll from that to your EQ2 folder.</p>
