Ok i know before you said you did stuff in the bios. Did you just update it? Found another thread(not even sure this might have been the one in the post i linked before but worth a shot): http://www.project1999.com/forums/sh...77#post1553177

Will check it next time I am on the comp, might be tomorrow though.

Hello MASQue. I don't know if you resolved this, but I was having the exact same problem. I have an M5A99FX Pro 2.0 motherboard with an AMD FX 8350 and an R7 370. EverQuest is installed in its own folder, right off the root drive and I followed the instructions for installation, just like you did, save that I used Duxa's resolution changer to get 1920x1080. I have 16GB of RAM and tried opening ports and making firewall allowances, updated all of my drivers, et cetera. It had to be the software, right? Kind of, I guess. I think it's a speed cheat check and it is looking for gross clock speed variations.

So I turned off turbo and uninstalled overdrive: nothing worked. Then I got an idea that maybe I needed to update my BIOS, since it had been years since I'd done so. If it's working, why mess with it?
After learning that there is a new file format for BIOS upgrades (new, like, five years ago. 8b), I put the BIOS file on my FAT32-formatted, House Stark USB memory stick and flashed it with EZFlash from the then-current BIOS. After reorganizing the boot order and checking that no overclocking was going on, I got back into Windows 10 and booted up EQ. It worked straight away!

I do hope this works for you. I logged into Cabilis and was overjoyed to see at least 12 other people running around. It has been years since I've experienced that.
