"Memory could not be read"

[digush]

you might have a corrupt or failing hard-drive
WinSFV is a good (FREE) tool to check CRC of files in windows (google it)
if you get CRC-errors on installing the game it's likely a failing hard drive

also, immediately after the crash happens do this:

goto:

C:\<YOUR_EQ_DIRECTORY>\Logs\dbg.txt
-> open this file with note-pad and scroll to the bottom
-> post the last 10 lines here so we can see what's happening just before the crash
