Hi! As of late last night, my computer has been crashing every 45 minutes into a session of EQ. It has not crashed when the game isn't running. I have Windows 8. When the error happens, my sound starts buzzing a little, then a light blue screen appears and Windows tells me there's been a registry error. It loads briefly from 0-100%, then restarts. I can't remember if the loading is it trying to locate a fix for the error or if it's sending an error report. If that's important, I can recreate the error and be more specific.

I've not installed anything new, but I did recently come back to the game. It's been running fine for about two weeks until now.

Would appreciate any help I can get. I backed up some files in anticipation of a reformat, but I figured I'd ask here before attempting to go down that route.. My computer came loaded with Windows 8 and I don't have a disc.

Thanks so much!
