For a while now, I've experienced occasional computer crashes whenever I'm running Mabi, Firefox, and some over programs all at once, and I've never really understood why. And by computer crashes, it's mostly been the screen going black on my monitor, but the computer is still on and running. I used to be running 8GBs in my Gaming Rig PC, and recently upgraded to 16GBs thinking that was the problem, but that wasn't the case. I'm still running into these rare crashes that just doesn't make sense to me. And it only seems to happen when I run Mabinogi, not any other games. Like today, I've experienced about 3 crashes just from trying to load the game up and log in. I've already looked around on the internet befoe, including Google, looking for a solution, and I think it might be related to my graphics card, but I'm just not sure. If anyone has any ideas on what the problem might be, and how to fix it, I'm all ears.
Also, I have a EVGA NVIDIA Geforce 560 TI. If you need anymore info, just ask, and I'll try to provide it. Thanks to anyone that can help.

What operating system are you using

Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

Sounds like a .dll file is missing, but that's just a guess. Try reinstalling your driver and the game.

Can you explain the crashes a little? The type of crashes I get are mostly from insufficient power (my psu barely is over the req. for my Gtx 460).
Maybe if you can add in a little detail I can help

Well, I'm not sure how much more info I can provide on the crashes themselves. For one, they happen unexpectedly, like many do. All that happens is that the monitor connected to my graphics card goes black, and it seems to just simply disconnect from the computer altogether, but the computer still remains running. I recently hooked up another monitor to have another monitor, and noticed in a recent crash that it was still on while the other wasn't, mainly because it was hooked up to my motherboard instead of my graphics card, for certain reasons that it couldn't be hooked up to it. Also, during a few of the crashes I experienced, the computer would sometimes recover from the crash mentioning something about the graphics card recovering, but it would soon after freeze up or simply go black screen again.
That's all I can say about these crashes. Anything else on the technical level I wouldn't know.
Edit: Also, I should mention, just in case, that I have a PSU of 650W. Don't know if that's not enough or not.

Thats more than enough, I run fine on 410w
Update your graphics drivers, and is it only on Mabi or does it happen on other games?

I did update my graphics card's drivers, this time putting them on my main drive since there was available space, and I reinstalled and patched Mabi.
And yes, this problem has only been with Mabi and not any other game I've played on my gaming pc.

Could it be a Hackshield error?

I cannot be sure, since I haven't seen any errors with hackshield pop up at anytime I've played Mabi.
Edit: However, how would I check to see if there ever was an error with Hackshield?

It usually sends you to the homepage when it happens

I've never had that happen to me. I don't think it's a hackshield error.

You don't have mabinogi rendering differently than other games do you?
What I mean is you editing the render/display settings for the game itself in Nvidia CP to make it look better?

Nope, haven't done that, nor know how to do that anyways.
