hello there all,

I have this little problem with my Macbook pro 3.1 on which I play under windows xp sp3.

The problem consists that when I play EvE Online www.eveonline.com after 4-5min of gameplay the screen freezes and the machine stops responding, have to power off manualy and turn back on to get it going again!

This issue developed from one day to another, the day before I was connecting an external monitor to the DVI port and played flawlessly even with 2 instances of the same game running "multiboxing" no worries there.

The next day I have this problem...
I have no explanation for it, I do not believe its heat issue related as when under OS X, I can play EvE "they have OS X client, even if its not a real native client" without an issue, yes fan spin like there is no tomorrow but under OS X the gameplay continues flawlessly!

is it driver related?

I did install those modified nvidia drivers for it "problem started before I did this"

any help is apreciated thank you :)
