Usually when this kind of thing happens, it's because the graphics card is overheating. Most cards are set up to detect this and shut themselves down to prevent damaging any hardware. In fact, most motherboards are like this now too (in that they can detect the processor overheating and shut it down - most motherboards themselves don't generate much heat :P)!
The only other thing I can think of is you might have a virus on your system that is causing it to randomly lock up (or a program that just doesn't like EQ although none come to mind).
What kind of graphics card do you have and does this happen on EQLive as well? Are any other games causing this (or a smiilar) problem?
