Since the patch, I have been unable to play on my PC at work in either windowed or full screen mode.

I can log in OK, and select the character I'd like to play, but about 5 seconds after I am actually logged in properly and can move about, then entire screen just goes bizarre forcing a hard PC reboot. It's normally a strange shape repeated across the screen in a single colour. Alt+Tab won't return me to the desktop.

The PC is an AMD FX-53, with 2GB RAM and a Nvidia FX 5950 Ultra.

I have installed the latest nVidia drivers, swept the PC for viruses (it's clean) and have a firewall running, so I am a little stumped TBH.

It was fine before the patch, so it's definately patch related.

TIA :)

Strange colours are usualy an indication of something up with your video card drivers, check them several times.

though ive seen similar stuff from overclocked pcs overheating, and I wouldnt rule out memory or motherboard hardware faults.
