ARG! Frustrated!!

Ok So I've been trying to get back into the game, and have had all the patches downloaded.

I go to log in and it's fine, it goes to the Loading area and everything looks and sounds perfect. The second I go to load in a world my entire screen goes BLACK but I can hear everything as normal and once the code is done though I can't see anything I know that on the other side I look fine.  Also sometimes it loads properly for a few seconds then goes black and my computer is automatically restarted!

I had crowlos log in to where I was and he said I looked fine and could move and everything. I've tried restarting computer a few times and that doesn't help. We also made sure I had all the newest driver downloads and graphic cards etc. We spend three hours last night trying to figure it out. It maybe ram but i've never had problems with MXO.

Now I have no idea what to do.

Did you do the defrag?  I also advise you to turn off all those programs you have at start up.  The updated video drivers and power supply are also a good thing to look into.

You have the original cd that came with your video card so try removing the newer ones and use the olders one..... -.-

Yeah did all that, thats not it.

Dont know if it will help any but check out the link for current drivers for graphics cards. It lists the updates that are compatible so make sure you dont have anything newer than listed.

SOE doesnt always support the latest updates from companies that make the cards, I know I for one had to roll back my drivers for my card since it was conflicting with the in-game physics. And remember to remove old drivers before installing the new ones.

Another question are you using XP or Vista?

I use XP.

I found another thing as a clue, I tried to watch a very small video and that also had a black screen. It's def a graphics card issue.

I will check that link out thanks!
