Client just shuts down

[Drakul]

Have you tried rebooting or checking to see that the game isn't making your processor or video card run too hot?

This started happening to me last week, but I found that my laptop seemed to be overheating... I downloaded speedfan (has built in temperature sensors) and I noticed running EQ was raising the temps in my laptop quite a bit. I have to qualify this by saying that I think the fan inside my laptop may have died recently because it's been running hot in general, but games seem to push it past it's limit lately.

I got a regular housefan and pointed it directly at the hot part of my laptop where the fan is, the temps went down, and EQ stopped shutting down on me for a few days... until last night when EQ crashed three times in a half hour... no errors, just shutdown. After the third time I rebooted my laptop and did not have anymore crashes over the course of the next few hours.
