My suggestion here would actually be to check your video card and CPU fans. These are the symptoms I would expect from an overheating processor or video card. While surfing the internet, your computer is mostly idle. While playing EverQuest, your computer is working much harder and produces much more heat. If your video card fan is not properly functioning, this can physically damage the card and render it unusable if it happens too much. I lost a few video cards in the last year to dead fans.
