LOTRO Crashing in Windows 7

Can anyone give me any advice on how to keep Lord of the Rings Online crashing my computer?

So far I have:
- Updated the drivers
- Gone into windowed mode (this game makes my temps HOT, this fix kept the game from randomly crashing without blue screening)
- playing in DX9 (also because of temps)

Specs are in sig. I am running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, is it just the OS causing the problems?

 

Maybe because your laptop is from 2006 and not powerful enough to run it right?

 

I was actually talking about my desktop, but now that the mods know someone please respond quick before my post gets moved to the no-traffic desktop forums!

 

Dunno, no problems here on Vista 64-bit so I doubt it's a 64-bit issue. BTW what server you playing? Since it's F2P i decided to give it another try, i'm on Silverlode.

 

I am also on Lotro meneldor server. One thing I would like to ask what are your temps. If it a laptop or Desktop. It should not be running Hot.

Here something I would like you to look at. Becuse your getting bsod. Go to Adminstrative Tools. Check your Event Viewer. See what the Error code is look it up. Also do like other say Monitor your temps while playing lotro.

I did have some Windows issues on my laptop and it ended up being a Audio Drivers where outdated.

Ask on lotro forums listed below.

For Richard Dickerson. Both my older Laptops a Acer Core duo 1.6ghz and Pro Star p4 3.4ghz laptops one 5 years old and the other is 4 years old. Both can Run lotro. So even if the laptop old dont mean it can not run a 3 year old game. Now Games like Civilization V. Yes I can understand why the two older laptops would not be able to run. Becuse it cpu and gpu demanding.

 

I have a feeling when running full screen it was crashing because of my temps, it wasn't even blue screening. The game would just freeze and my computer would restard. I changed to windowed mode and monitored the temps and I wasn't crashing at all, so now I just play in windowed mode at the max resolution and its doing fine. Frequently I get a blue screen though and its annoying.

I have the low res version on my laptop but I haven't played that for any significant amount of time.

I'm on Riddermark server btw

 

I play on windows 7 64-bit no problem .....maybe u need a better pc =)

 

Should work; the closed beta worked perfectly on my laptop which is worse (performance-wise) than your computer. Also on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. Can't be of much more help I'm afraid.

 

Is your 8800GTX over clocked or in SLi? I don't know why it would be getting hot. Does it get hot with other games?

 

i would say conflict of drivers. i would suggest a back up and fresh install of OS. install drivers one @ a time and update your drivers. you shouldn't be crashing on your desktop cause it seems it meets the required specs.

 

It is niether. I was surprised also, especially considering my monitor resolution is 1280x1024. No other game I have played has caused an instant crash, including many valve games, and that was on a 1900x1200 back home.

Unfortunately i just moved into college so I dont have access to the disks. I do have all of my drivers updated.

I also forgot to mention that I ran memtest in the middle of summer and all of my memory is good.
