E.g. I was with a friend and he was spawning certain monsters and mostly when I attack them this would happen. I used the portal in the Planes of Knowledge to Freeport and after seconds of moving around this occurs again. (I play on private servers if this would affect anything)

It isn't very specific the BSOD but what it does say is along the lines of

Disabling caching and shadowing in BIOS

Stop: 0x0000008E
(0xC000001D, 0xE4E87787, 0XA701F88C, 0x00000000)

And then it says something about a physical memory dump.

My specs are

Win XP Home SP3
a720n Hewlett Packard
Amd XP 3200+ 2.2 Ghz
Advanced 400 MHz front side bus Socket A
Via KM400A Chipset
ASUS name: A7V8Z-LA
HP name: Kelut-GL6E
DDR1-333 SDRAM (1 Gb)
Ati Radeon x1600PRO AGP 512mb
SB Live! 24 Bit soundcard

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/...2962&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN is my full computer specs if need be

I've played games like Quake 4, Neverwinter Nights, UT2004, Morrowind and Oblivion (they crashed occasionally just to desktop due to Bethesda not knowing how to support a HP computer with HP printer software installed) Battlefield 2, Half Life 2, X3 Reunion, TF2, Garry's Mod, CS:S and Second life.

This is the FIRST game to do this to me like this. I of course have EQ: Titanium. I would think with games I have played like above I could do just fine with EQ...but something just isn't right.

Someone please enlighten me on what I can do to solve this major annoyance. Also I already have given my computer a good air-dusting.
 
Does it say anything near the top left of the BSOD about what failed? Typically it would appear_something_like_this_with_some_real_words.
