My friend just reactivated along with me, and while I have no problems, my friends DAoC keeps crashing his system. Today after about 50 minutes of play, his computer froze. This has happend several times for him.
He has no problem playing Skyrim or BF3 for hours on end, without crashes. Are any of you familiar with something that could cause DAoC to crash the system?

Does it happen in a certain zone?
Quick Fix: Uninstall / reinstall DAoC. Update all drivers.

This may not help you but I started playing again last week and been having a great time. Everything was fine on my main computer. However on a different box it would crash constantly on login after the character selection screen. It was fine the first time login but not after. I finally figured out the issue. The issue with the custom UI. I was running an old version of ghost from years ago and when I switched from the atlantis is crashed. You might have your friend try switching back to the default for a few hours and see if that's it. The newest ghost fixed the issue for me.

We've tried updating all his drivers, chipset, audio, gfx. Still crashes. This time after likr 7 minutes. That's the fastest yet.
He has no Custom UI installed either. We're gonna try reinstalling now.

Reinstall and update of drivers didn't help.
Only thing left to try is re format of the PC :-(
Anyone got any other ideas?

This may not be the problem but it is an easy thing to test to see if it helps. Get some canned air and blow the dust out of your friends computer.
Edit: Don’t use a vacuum. A vacuum creates huge amounts of static electricity and the suction of the vacuum will not remove most of the hidden dust.
You can get canned air at Walmart or most office supply stores. Make sure you blow the GPU and CPU heat sinks clean.

We monitored temps as well, nothing above 60 degrees celsius, and as mentioned, it doesn't crash in other high demanding games like BF3 or Skyrim

If it's freezing up after 50 min of playing it could just be the Standard DAOC memory leak. Happens usually in RVR, almost exclusively on systems with ATI graphics. If that's the case, there isn't much you can do besides change to an Nvidia graphics card. Daoc just doesn't like most ATI cards. If that's not an option then getting more RAM will extend the time you can play but it will still happen eventually. Also, changing to classic character models in the options menu usually gets rid of it, but then you have to look at ugly toons all the time. Works though, and doesn't cost anything

More tech info concerning the computer (OS info, computer age, GPU, CPU, motherboard, etc . .) would help a lot. At the moment we are all just guessing, spitballing, throwing out WAGs and using a magic 8 ball.
