Thanks for the suggestions. I am that heat isn't the issue, as I dustered my PC just last month. I built the PC myself and inspected it when I last cleaned it and everything seemed fine. Plus, I figure if it can handle Vanguard, it can handle EQ with 0 issues. I do think it could still be a hardware issue, maybe something to do with my SLI setup, I dunno. But if that was the case, it should be consistantly not working, instead of being random.

As far as a virus goes, I don't run anti-virus software, but I doubt that is the issue. I have seen 0 other issues on this PC, and I don't see any funny processes running in taskmanager. Also, I don't download anything dangerous to this PC, anything that might be risky get downloaded on my secondary PC and scanned for viruses there.

Hopefully the Windows rebuild will fix it at least.

Oh, and I also wanted to add that if I try using Quick Connect at the Login screen, instead of just using the Login and selecting a server, the game crashes and reports a problem with eqgame.exe. As long as I select and server and hit play, it just either goes black for 30 seconds at the server select screen, or just freezes up at the server select screen, for 30 seconds and both of them go back to the login screen after the freeze is done.
