So recently I got invited to try Lord of the Rings Online. I thought my MMO days were over, but being a free to play game, I gave it a shot. For some reason everytime I try to run it, I can play for about 2-3minutes and then it freezes. If I hit ctrl alt del, there is an error message under the game saying my nvidia client had failed. This isn't the first time I couldn't get a game to load properly. It did the same with Age of Conan, and Oblivion also loaded poorly. My computer way more then meets the needs for the games, so I cant figure out whats wrong.
Things Ive tried:
-reinstalling nvidia drivers
-running all tools in Tune-Up Utilities 2011
-defragging hard drive
-clearing out old program and files to create some room
Well, I opened the computer up to check it, and it seems to be running fine. With the computer case open, I ran the game and I was able to play for like 10 minutes. So maybe its an overheating issue?
