[Menas1234]

Ok i can play on any server but the problem is when i play for 5-10 min the video goes to black and i cannot minimize or do much of anything other than see a black screen(then i have to reboot). I have dled the latest video drivers for my computer. Do you guys have any idea whats up?

If you are running a dual or quad core CPU, try this:

Dual Core CPU Fix:
Dual (or Quad) Cores cause crashes, but has a simple fix.
1. Start EQEmu
2. Before logging into the login server, ATL+TAB out of the program and hit CTRL+ALT+DEL
3. Select the 'Processes' Tab
4. Find the eqgame.exe process and right click it
5. Select 'Set Affinity' and then chose CPU 0
6. Return to EQ and run like normal

Alternatively, if you are running an AMD processor, you can fix it by just installing the AMD Optimizer.

If not, we will need more information. You might want to post your event log from windows and your EQ error log.
