What video card are you using?
What version of drivers for it are you using?
What OS are you using?
Are you using any windows skinning programs like WindowsBlinds?

Windows XP SP2, Nvidia Geforce 8500GT, Latest driver's and also the last one's which was 6.x.5822 I think, can't remember the middle part just the end.
6.x.5822 version of WindowsBinds? Uninstall it. That infernal program is to blame. It is not officially or unofficially supported by NCSoft, nor any other game developer. It will routinely break a large number of games and other programs. It is a system hog, and will slow your PC down more than the GPU acceleration speeds it up. Believe me when I tell you, you do not want this program on your PC.

And in fact, is KNOWN to cause lots of problems with CoH.

Sorry guys I gave the wrong impression, I was talking about the Nvidia whql driver set that came before 175.19 on the driver details it was listed as version 6.x.5822.
I don't run any third party skins or mod's for the windows interface as there's too much to go wrong.
However I tried logging in again late last night as one of my brute's, with reinstalled driver's for 175.19 from nvidia. This time the colours didn't go mental, but the game still hangs and takes the system with it. Driver's have finally stopped corrupting so there's some good news.
I've been running tests but I think part of the issue will be down to the windows updates, but they all keep failing.
Well for a start, I'd install these.
If your PC hangs during CoH, you may have a stability problem. Install these new drivers then come back to us with an update.

Thanks for advice mate, thanks to everyone who posted too. Unfortuately when it crashed again thursday night that was the last time. After that the graphics card would no longer start and I could tell from the boot up that it was knackered now, text was all over the place and scrambled in parts. Replaced today with Nvidia 9800GT. However I will most likey be upgrading again soon as I've found a great deal on the 9800GTX+.
Cheers again everyone.
Hey I've been having a real pain with this, since the newest patch was released on the 23rd. I've only been trying to get on as my Dark Melee/Ice Armor Tank, will try others after work.
The Issue doesn't come with any warning, just the screen turning a funny shade of green, yellow and black in some places. The game then hangs, subsequent reboots after this will cause computer to reload to the same garbled screen. Seems that when this problem occur's it also corrupts my graphics drivers. It's happened 4 times now always after about 5 minutes of logging in.
I spent about 2 and a half hours last night checking the integrity of my HDD, later I'll clean up registry. Unfortunately I haven't got any logs from this.
Imagine the only advice i'll hear is uninstall the game, then install again, and spend all evening patching
though any advice would be welcome.
