Right click on EQ.exe (or Everquest.exe) and manually "set affinity" to to a single CPU core and see if that helps.

Preferably before the user logs into the login server. Also, CTRL+SHIFT+ESC instead of CTRL+ALT+DEL saves you a click or an ALT+T.
I still think is likely VertexShaders, 20PixelShaders, 14PixelShaders, 1xPixelShaders, ShowDynamicLights and MultiPassLighting (with the last two being the most likely) settings in eqclient.ini
If the shaders and lighting being turned off don't fix the problem, next step is to ensure its at a resolution and refresh your display supports (Fullscreenrefreshrate is set to 0 by default) that is the old "standard" aspect ratio (5:4 or 16:10) and try windowed mode. If this workaround works, you can then set the resolution to anything you desire in game.
If the entire machine is locking or doing a driver reset, and not just eqgame.exe blacking out it could be a number of things, starting with video card temperature.
