I had to turn of dynamic lighting during beta because it was causing massive framerate drops during beta (at least on ATI cards). It would definitely cause me client crashes but no full on reboots. Then again my machine has about 600 fans cooling it so it may very well have been heating up and I didn't notice.

If you ARE running an ATI card try turning off Dynamic Lighting.

[Blackride]

Yep I have them and I turned it off. No troubles since.

[RickPeete]

I have an ATI Radeon X600 on my DELL Desktop.  It is kinda old but works great.  I already had the dynamic lighting turned off.  But I think it is likely the graphics card just got driven too hard and the system shut off to protect the components from damage.

I may be in the market for a new graphics card and perhaps a bigger power supply for the DELL.

The other computer is another story.  It has an NViDIA GeForce 9800 GT card.  Both systems has 6GB of RAM and Dual Core processors of at least 3.2gz.

Arrrggg!! The STO servers went down last night around midnight and they just went down again at 2PM.  Right in the middle of my task force mission with The Doomsday Machine!  Bummer!

But I hooked up with Blackride though which is cool!

[RickPeete]

Just finished the Doomsday Mission!  So very cool!

Now leveled to Lt. Cmdr Grade 3 and halfway to 4....

[Blackride]

It was nice meeting RickPeet on line. Now where are the rest of u?

emachines are made by gateway for the past few years. Gateway is a quality company. Having build and owned quite a few computers, eMachines can be a great value for the money.

People get strangely protective and sometimes even defensive about their hardware purchases.  Bashing someone's choice of computer or console, for whatever reason, is almost like making fun of their kids.
