Timing out when zoning

I am having a issue that just started a couple days ago. Every couple times I zone my character just times out, not a client crash. But I have to pull up task manager and close the eq window and re-log everytime. It was kinda annoying first but not its like every other time I zone. Any ideas?

Any zones in particular or can it be any zone? And is it a particular character as well?

At first I thought it was just Hulk and The Hidden Forest. But it seems to be any char any zone any account. I haven't done anything to change my set up, nothing new.

You can take a look in your everquest/logs directory and the dbg.log file shows any crash info, as well as debug.dmp, although they can be a bit cryptic might give some kind of hint as to what might be happening.

Im looking at the dbg folder now and I dont really know what to look for tbh.
I am not crashing where it pops up an says client error or anything like that. It just wont show the loading screen and then takes sometimes 2-5mins to actually zone, if it zones. If it doesnt then I have to ctr+alt+delete and close the program.
It took me 3mins or so to zone 2 toons into WOS this morning. With no other programs running except MQ2.

I had something like this happen to me in the past if its not happening to other people and only you I would do a memtest and possibly check your hard drive. A bad memory chip or a hard drive on its way out can cause these problems.

Thanks
My SSD is super old and needs an upgrade so I might just get it over with.
Thanks :)
