<p>The only grey outs I've ever had are the graphics drivers bugging out and re-starting.</p>

<p>I'm not sure if it's a similar issue or if i should start a new thread on this but i have an issue where if i try to load up another program whilst running eq2 i get a message across the eq2 title bar saying program not responding. This could cause eq2 to lock up for anything from 15seconds to a few mins. Whilst the screen is frozen the 'program not responding' message will flash up and then go, then come upagain and then go but throughout i can hear people in VC.
