I logged on to Lord of the Rings Online last night after the expansion dropped about 7:30 and started gaming with a buddy. About 10m into playing, I tried to mine a ore node and crashed, about 30m later I went to roll on lootz from a mob and crashed, 20m later I went to click on a dead mob to loot and crashed.
These crashes had a box that came up and said "Your client has stopped responding, close client" and the game screen looked to have a thin layer of white spray paint look all over it.
Another buddy said after the fact that these crashes might have something to do with unupdated plugins to the game I was using, so that may or may not have anything to do with the GPU issue...
My buddy I was gaming with suggested updating my drivers and so when he went AFK, I went to the AMD site and tried to update my driver with this driver suite that came out about a month ago.
The Suite is called "Catalyst Software Suite" and includes:
Display Driver
OpenCL Driver
ATI Integrated Driver
Catalyst Control Center
About 50% into the install, I got the blue screen of death and computer crashed and rebooted with 800x600 resolution telling me that ATI drivers are not detected and I either need to find them or install them...
I still have the driver disc from the GPU box but my disc drive isnt working either, so I plan on fixing that tonight when I get off work, popping in the disc and see if that works, if not then I have until 5pm PST to call tech support and see what they think.
