Those with GeForces, do you have AMD systems, and is it GeForce 2 or 3? I freeze up every time I go into EQ less than 5 minutes after getting into the world, and I have NO idea what's going on. The dev boards aren't very helpful either.

But... consider these factors:
1) p2 300
2) GeForce2 MX200
3) 128 megs of PC-66 RAM
4) 1024x768 resolution
5) FULL clip plane
6) Zoned into EMERALD JUNGLE
It took 2 minutes to sit down and open the spellbook and another two to mem gate and stand up. I was about to gate, when I realized that I was bound in Shar Vahl. Those specs don't have a chance on the moon...
But.. my computer sat there for 10 minutes and I Ctrl+Alt+deleted out... luckily.
Only problems in the oldworld are zoning are to/from Emerald Jungle and Trakanon's Teeth.
Haven't found any on Luclin yet. [ 01-02-2002: Message edited by: Skaw ]

How many watts is your power supply?
My question: When my Vah Shir attacks, I get alot of (for lack of a better term) "stuff" interfering with my view. It appears to be caused by my camera POV being somewhat inside the structure of my character and his armor. I get the same thing if I get really close to another Vah Shir. My Iksar Monk has the same problem (Iksar male is one of the SoL types I've got turned on).
Is this normal for people, or is it something that I need to track down somewhere on my computer?
P III 667
256 RAM
Radeon 7500
SoundBlaster Live! Value
I have:
P3: 750mzh
384 PC 133 RAM
GeForce 2 mx +
and umm, onboard sound.
But when I go from the char select screen it usually freezes on the way to server select....
And yeah, I updated the drivers. Even downgraded down from 23.11 Detonator to 21.83 because people were saying there were problems with 23.11. [ 01-02-2002: Message edited by: Lyinar ]

300 watt I think, Drys. I don't have problems in other 3D games, though. Do you think EQ is causing more strain on my video card, even though I've completely uninstalled SoL? Worked fine before they started making all these changes.
Hmmmm.. if it worked fine before, that makes me less likely to suspect power, then (300W is kinda low for an AMD/GeForce2+ combo, though it mainly depends on what else the power supply is feeding by way of peripherals, etc.) The next two places I'd look would be video and sound drivers, and it looks like you've already tried swapping around some video drivers.
Have you checked out sound drivers at all?

Kennatsu had this to say about (_|_):
I'm not sure, but I had that problem with my RIVA TNT2 card... I set my AGP transfer rate to 1x to fix it... I used a program called Rivatuner to do that. Now, however it works fine, though my AGP port maxes out at 2x (my GE Force 2 MX400 supports 4x)
Ill have to try that, same card and same problems.
You got a link for Rivatuner?

It used to be at Guru3D, but that site seems to be gone. Still, I've seen copies of that program floating around the net (and I kept my copy as well)
Maybe I'm just insane.

I had that problem, install the lastest drivers suggested by EQ on www.everquest.com
Syns comp: Athlon 1700 XP, 512 mb ram, same videocard, no sound yet(it dinnae like SB cards) same drivers, same configuration, almost no chop at all. both running on a shared 640k DSL line. both running PC133 memory
Aside from the occasional lockup on her machine (still havent worked out all the bugs) we've experienced little to no problems with EQ
Before I upgraded to Detonator 23.11, things were fine. I've downgraded, but I'm still having trouble.
And I just installed Atlantis, the Lost Tales last night, Drys, and it's doing the same thing. But my Odyssey game was fine before as well as EQ before all these changes. So I doubt it's the power supply.

We need more on Sol Ro, not less. I'm so loooonely.

You mean that failing power or low power can lead to lockups? Hm.. guess that explains my problem then.
AMD Athlon 750, GeForce2 MX400 - a 300W power supply feeding the board, 3 harddisks, 1 cd-rom drive, 1 USB webcam and 1 USB joystick.
Think that's a problem?
It's almost similiar to cardiac arrest. Powersupply is the blood to the motherboards heart and blood vessels. When the blood flow is disrupted. heart attack.
Now that i think about it, maybe thats whats causing the random lockups on Syn's new rig.
Before I replaced this power supply, which is used, my system locked up constantly
Now it's just doing it when I try to play games, except once it froze when I had IE open

Yeah, might wanna look into a 400 MadCat. Im running a DVD Drive, a CDRW, 3 HDs, a Floppy, a GF2 Ultra off of the power supply, and ive never had a power related problem.
Had one before back in the day with a 200 Watt power supply and a TNT2 tho
