I'm tryin to help a friend fix his LOTRO game and have run completely out of ideas.
Computer specs are Athlon 64 3000+
1 gig DDR400 RAM
ATI x800 Video Card
some crappy 5400rpm hard drive =P
Not sure of the rest of the specs but thats the main stuff
Anyhow... he can get into the game fine, it's a little laggy but bearable. After 5-10 minutes the screen will turn black, and after 30 seconds the monitor will lose it's signal and the machine must be hard-booted.
He's tried 3 different video card drivers, including original drivers, the most recent, and one inbetween. He has all windows updates, antivirus and antispyware up-to-date and ran them all. Also he's turned them all off. We tried cleaning the video card too of dust, thinking it might be overheating, but to no prevail.
Running out of ideas here. He just reloaded the computer less then 3 weeks ago and it runs WoW and other games just fine. My computer's specs are pretty close to his cept I have a better hard drive and processor (p4 2.8 dual core) and it runs just fine for me.
Any ideas?
