Hello everyone!

I recently installed Lord of the Rings Online, Star Wars the Old Republic, and Star Trek Online. Every time I played Star Trek Online at a random time the game would crash, it said something like my drives or something had shut down or crashed but were restored. I got tired of it so I tried to play Star Wars but would crash shortly after launch with no message. I got tired of it all so I uninstalled all three games. Now when I try to launch Morrowind (modded with MGSO) it would immediately crash with a message saying "render creation error". I also tried to play Medieval 2 Total War but it also crashed shortly after launch with a message saying "A fatal graphics error has occurred and the game will now be shut down. This is normally caused by having the game graphics options set too high, please try running the game again and lowering your graphics settings before entering a battle." I don't understand because both of these games worked perfectly fine before the online games were installed, also Shadow of Mordor, and M&B Warband have both worked fine.
Can anyone help? Also sorry about the explanation, I'm not tech savvy :p

That sounds like a graphics driver error, something isn't kicking with it right and it's causing crashes.
If I am correct, during these crashes, the screen will go black for a few seconds and then come back to your desktop with that message.
Are your graphics drivers up to date?

They were at the time. I think there was a problem when I updated them, I rolled back to an earlier version but that didn't work so reinstalled the most recent update and it works fine now.

it sounds like a driver failure. go to the website of where your graphicscard came from and look for the right drivers overthere of that card. just look for the name of that card. install it and there you go. still not working? use a anti bot scanner to scan for bots in your PC. then get rid of the bots and then reinstall the driver again. no bots or still not solved? then your graphicscard is broken... you need to replace it.. :(

but if that's still not working: then the plugin in the motherboard is broken... then or you have a second one where your card fit in. otherwise you need to buy a new motherboard. but remember: always check first your card in all your gates where it can fit in and see if it works.

Thank you for the advice. I actually think I fixed the problem. I had my computer connected to my monitor and my tv at the same time, it hadn't ever been a problem until now but I disconnect the tv and everything seems fine.

sounds weird. big chance it's gonna happen again. or else there's something with the gate wich the tv was connected on.
