Crashing non-stop!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Silentone]

OK, I am going to explain my situation and hope that someone can help me resolve it. I do not know if this is a server side issue and I am starting to think it is not but the issue is so frequent that I do need some help. I am going to start off by giving my specs becasue i belive it has a lot to do with whats going on.

Computer specs
Windows 7 64bit
Nvidia 295 gtx
phenom ii x6 1090T
8 gigs of ram

I have had my system for about 2 years, and in the time have played various games including starcrafts2 and eq2 frequently along with other first person shooters and such, and in that time have had zero problems with my computer.

THE PROBLEM
About 3 months ago i joined p99 and started to play, while playing i started to notice random crashes (when i say crashes, i mean my video card goes out and windows crashes, basicaly the computer is on but im staring at a blank screen and i know windows has crashed becasue i have been in vent before and vent is down as well so its not just crashing the video but windows 7 as well). The crashes were random and very infrequent something like either once every day or once a week. After about a month it started to bother me, not because it was crashing once a week but just i wanted to find a way to fix it, i like fixing things =). So i looked on the forums and read a bit and tried all the fixes

FIXES IVE TRIED
Reinstall
directx 9.c patch
Repatch nvidia 295 gtx FRESH INSTALL
run duxa99 fix,
run game in single core
run grafix card in single core
run wineq2
run admin
run compatibility mode
run w/o sound
run in window
run w/o windows

THE BIG PROBLEM

Since the last patch we have had, i have been crashing at an alarming rate...very frequently sometimes 5 to 10 times in a row as soon as i log in, it seems my problem started to become more frequent in large zones mainly EJ and TT but i did crash in OT, FM as well. Now the reason why im convinced this isnt just a p99 issue is because after getting frustrated and not being able to find info on a fix or trouble shoot my situation i decided to take a break and play eq2 a bit. Now i must say i have played eq2 weekly since i started p99 and havent had a problem at all, but i have only been in my guild hall and raid zones which are all relativly small compared to overland zones, this last week I was running around in eq2 in a overland zone and boom same problem video card went out. So now im convinced its a error on my side. However smaller zones like raid zones in eq2 and Seb in P99, i have no problems with. The only way i have been able to gain some stability long enough to leave the zone is camping to an alt zoning him a few times, then camping back to my main and trying to zone out of the zone im stuck in, and even this doesnt work all the time i do sometimes crash 15 to 20 times before i can even make it 10 feet into zone...


Any help would be greatly appretiated, I am a big fan of p99 and I am willing to do whatever it takes ...thanks in advance.

1. Are you using the Titanium client?

2. I also used to crash a ton, it started sporadically at first but after a while it escalated to about 70% of the time I would try to zone I would time out and crash. Tried using wineq, removing my characters info file or w/e and nothing would work. Funny enough, both times (last year and when I reinstalled a couple months ago) I managed to fix my crash issue by installing the updated zone textures. I still very rarely crash but it really only happens when I try to load these heavy ass tree zones in kunark while I have torrents and streams sucking up my bandwith.

Yes I am using Titanium client,

so are you telling me the installing upgraded textures helped u with the crash issue? if so im willing to do that.

[baub]

yea, i mean there's no guarantee it will fix your issue but it did work for me.

also it made my eq look better! win/win~

interesting as I was reading your and was downloading the content. I had eq1 and eq2 open and was in game ...and all of the sudden got this msg.

the problem said...your video card has had an error of some sort but has recovered.

Eq1 crashed, and was a black screen, but eq2 did not....this mean anything to anyone?

Description
A problem with your video hardware caused Windows to stop working correctly.
