Freaking out!!!

[Coneitic]

ok, im seriously goin to freak out this happened to me before but i fixed it somehhow, prolly using crystal way 

Doesnt really matter where i am, if i turn and look around sometimes, well frequently, my screen freezes, goes to black and doesnt recover. i have to manually shut the tower off and restart it, when it comes on it says "your system recovered from a serious error" seeing as how i shut my comp off i cant really get a message from planeshift.

so far today it happened somehwere down some stairs in the arena, behind harns, and in the tavern. i have to bug the same game master, sorry caarrie, with an alt to get my charactor moved to the DR. then i turn around and that same thin happens to my alt. its extremely annoying seeing as how i have dial up and have to restart the comp, dial up msn, sign on, wait about 5 minutes, then it happens again!

everythign was fine till this morning, i reformated my computer and saved the client to a disk, takes me about 3 days to download the client if i didnt. i do everything, set up the comp, comp is running fresh like a newborn, and this starts... any suggestions? im about to just massively post everywhere on the forums to waste time instead of playing =)

-Systems specs
-Driver version
etc.

Handy tools to use:
-Start-->Execute-->dxdiag
Look at system/video/screen and post the info.

Also try to test your memory, you can do that by writing a program like memtest86++ onto a USB-stick and plug it in before reboot.

Check here how to get the latest drivers for your integrated videocard.
The website is completely screwed up for me though so it's possible they're having technical difficulties too

thanks man i'll try to figure this out, maybe a warning should be on the website

*warning, only people with good knowledge of computers should play this game, for only they can figure out the problems of this game*

[just kidding... and i added good knowledge of computers from geek]

*edit* ummm i guess it is screwed up, theres no way to download a driver.. is there another way to update this?

*edit*

thom, thanks for all your help, since i've been playing you've been the most professional, most helpful person i've met on this forums....

turns out i was running in 1024x768 and i guess my monitor and graphics card couldnt handle it, i switched to 800,600 and it runs just fine.... easy fix, kinda makes me feel dumb

thanks anyways man

I was actually going to ask about your settings but then I read you did a clean install so I figured everything was at default.
