Can anyone help me out with this error please?

So the game was running just fine. Been running fine for 2 month. I have no idea what happened, but when I launched the game from the everquest file launcher (just to make sure I was current on updates)... I then clicked the green play button on the Everquest launcher and my screen started flickering. The window tried to get bigger, then smaller, then bigger then smaller then CRASH (all happened within like 3 seconds). I have 2 graphics cards and 3 monitors 1080P. Here is the error:

Since it is video related. Try updating your video driver.

Then you can try stuff like running EQ with out MQ loaded, and/or running with a single graphics card.

All shots in the dark but might help you narrow down the problem and find a work around.

You can also check to see if you have all the microsoft patches. This morning I had a nasty surprise from MS. My machine slowed to a crawl and it was looking like the OS drive was not responding. Reboot didn't solve it. Letting the OS patch did.
