I replaced my motherboard yesterday and resintalled everything so I'm fully patched again. I'm getting the feeling lots of my computer problems may be related to a bad network adaptor on the motherboard. I'll let you know

When the screen would freeze it would temporarily lockup the computer so that i couldn't tab out or anything. But i had CPU and GPU temp monitors running in the background before and looked at them after it unfroze and never saw a temp rise higher than limits. I'm trying a new network card (actually...

I have to wonder if it and some of the other problems i've been having are being caused by the network adaptor on the MOBO going bad... I'm gonna try a few things, maybe including getting a seperate network card or even a new MOBO... I can't even play EQ atm because of this stupid patcher problem

Update again... I've run memtest for 12 hours with no errors. I recently bought a new more powerful PSU. I've disabled sound in EQ as well as removing the sound card and I'm back to onboard sounds. My computer was good for about 48hours then today when 2boxing with my pally on my other comp, i start...

Here's an update. I recently (last month or so) have gotten a couple random restarts. The computer just restarts on it's own. It has happened 3 or 4 times. Each time a blue screen flashes but goes by too fast to read the text/error message. I ran with each memory stick by itself for awhile and for e...

More "evidence" to consider. Usually when this happens I'm in a group, not moving. Today i froze while autorun was on going through POK. When I unfroze, i was still in the place I froze at but started moving again, I wasn't halfway across the zone. Mean anything? Thanks again for all the h...

All the hardware is the same with the current CPU as the old CPU. I actually took out the sound card, uninstalled the drivers and software and just installed the onboard sound drivers (i'll be honest I can't tell a difference). I still froze up again... any chance it's the memory? I could try runnin...

This preblem happened with a single core AMD64 3700 as well. I thought about the sound card drivers last night and have been trying to update them, however the creative website is giving me problems. The self extracting .exe for the new drivers errors as it extracts and their website autoupdate fail...

Screen Freezing

Here is a problem i've had over the last few months. I've tried a few things without success. Occasionally my screen will freeze when playing EQ. It doesn't happen every time I play and sometimes will go a week without happening. Usually the cursor will still move at first, then it will also freeze....
