Couple things.whenever i log in using wineq2.14 pro after about 5-10 minutes give or take, my whole computer will just restart..only does it on 1 of the comps i use..this happens playing EQ1
1.
Your display driver is eons old.Driver: NVIDIA GeForce4 MX Integrated GPU /nv4_disp.dll/6/14/10/5216
Version: 52.16
Release Date: October 23, 2003
The current version of the same driver is
Version: 91.31
Release Date: June 23, 2006
Download it here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_91.31.html
Install it immediately.
If this does not solve the problem, then there's basically 2 remaining explanations.
1. Hardware overheating. This is LESS likely when using EQPlayNice, which you have disabled. Therefore your hardware is being allowed to run hot with a full workload from EQ. You need to make sure that the fans inside your computer, especially on the CPU and on the graphics chip (which will be on the motherboard), are running full speed. It might help you to find a temperature monitor program (you should be able to find some free downloads by googling).
2.
You're running out of RAM. It has been demonstrated in the past that some systems blue screen/reboot (it's still a blue screen, some people wouldnt see it because of Windows settings) when they run out of system RAM, and DirectX thinks there is texture memory available. Then DirectX tries to use some of that available memory only to discover ... there isn't any.System Physical RAM: 6/447MB
.
Available Texture Memory: 51MB
So my recommendations in this order:
1. Update video card driver
2. Ensure fans are spinning unimpeded. If they're sluggish or have lots of dust, then they need to be cleaned or simply replaced. If they are impeded and your hardware is overheating, this may cause permanent damage (not always, it's a matter of luck), which means that it would keep doing the same behavior even after the fans get replaced.
3. If all else fails, add system RAM
