I signed up for a 14 days trial and I'm running the tutorial now. The game runs beautifully but around 20 minutes logged on the computer just reboots without any warning. It happens every time around 20 minutes mark. Any idea what could be the problem? I've installed the latest graphic drivers but the problem is still there. Thanks.

Post your computer specs, including the wattage on your power supply.
Ok what is the best way to check the specs and the wattage? Any utility I can just copy/paste the relevant data? This is what I know:
Athlon 64 3200+
RAM 512 Mb
ALL IN WONDER 9600
Do you think it's related to the power source? The computer runs perfectly with everything else, but the moment I run Eve 20 minutes later it will always reboot. I'm not running anything else except the firewall and anti-virus.
i dont think its the power supply cause this is my second time using the 14 day trial just because i wanna make sure b4 i buy it thats its worth it and i thought it was and now if its gonna do this ???but the point is this is my second time using this trial and it never did this b4.
EVE Online is a very CPU-intensive game. If your computer case does not have good ventilation, running EVE Online might overheat it and cause the computer to either freeze up or reboot itself. If your power supply does not provide enough voltage, your computer can also exhibit the same reactions.
Have you tried playing any other graphics-intensive games? If so, what are they and do they work fine?
If you are positive its not your PSU it might be your cooling. I had that problem, turned out there had gathered so much dust in my heatsink it was clogging up the airflow. You have a setting in your bios where you can make it so that your computer shuts down when it reaches a certain temperature.
Try downloading and running speedfan and controlling your computers temperatures. Im not computer savvy btw, just speaking from my of own experiences.

ok i understand now ill try some of that stuff you guys said like clean dust out which there probly is since i havent cleaned it in a while and see if that solves the problem cause when i played b4 it was when i had my pc brand new. thanks guys i can always count on you all here on these forums

Used to have same problem (not just with EvE although Eve did crap out more than others).
I cleaned the insides of the PC out and now play with the side off and no probs, so I too vote it is prob an overheating issue.
I can't open the PC, it's still within the warranty period but I will run speedfan to check for problems. Thanks guys.
In my case the computer really is overheating. I've checked with SpeedFan and the BIOS right after the reboot and the CPU is over 85C! I need to have the computer checked. Thanks for the help guys.
Glad you found the root of your problem, hope it works out for you mate.
