    Hi Quin,

    This is Sylean from your guild. Much easier to try and sort out problems here than on the in game chat, specially when you keep disappearing

    I assumed you had a networking problem before, but this sounds much more like a hardware or driver problem. In which case, you really want to ask this again in the Hexus.hardware area where there are a lot more people around.

    My suspicions are bad RAM, video driver gone wonky or CPU overheating. Games are the hardest task most computers ever get to do.

    First thing I would want to do is get a copy of memtest86 (google should find it). That normally burns onto a bootable CD. If there are any problems with the RAM in your machine, that should flush them out. I like to leave it running overnight to get a good few passes.
