I had problems with EQ crashing too...turned out to be a filthy and dying cpu fan. If you're crashing out of high end games but fine on the desktop, look very seriously into heat as a cause.

Have you defragged your hard drive lately? I have had some instances in games, DAOC, Warcraft III, where the game would crash or drop to the desktop and defragging the drive helped for a while. I have actually been having problems with EQ dropping unexpectedly lately now that I think about it. I have yet to defrag my HD but I know I haven't done it in over a month, so it could be the problem.

Hello. I bought eq today along with a game card. I installed it, went to new account, and when I click it it bounces me to the desktop. i dried disabling my firewall, soundcard, starting with all unnecessary processes disabled. uninstalled/installed many times. checked for irq and I found that the cable modem network cark was sharing 12 with the onboard sound, tried moving the network card and ended up having to reactivate xp! As it stands, I've yet to set foot in Norrath. I registered at the Station, and tried to use the tech bulliten board, but it won't let me post, says that I need to me a regisered user-- I thought I was!! anyways, that's why I'm here. PLEASE HELP!! I can't wait to play my new game!!! Thanks Dan
