I had been running the game pre-addon update and then I try to log back on post-update and the game goes to a black screen, loops the sound briefly, and then is silent but still running with a black screen. Restarted the computer and now the monitor is showing the same image twice (split horizontally across the screen) The first time I restarted, the computer threw up a BSOD but disappeared before I could read anything. I ran System Restore and am considering restoring everything back to factory settings but I was hoping somebody would have a solution to this oddity before I do so. Thoughts?

Just let the damn thing idle after getting rid of the split screen error and the problem popped up again. I managed to see what the problem file was on the BSOD and it turns out to be video card related. Laptop's 54 days out of warranty too
