I'd recommend following proper uninstall old drivers and CCC, reboot in Safe Mode to run Driver Sweeper, reboot in normal mode and install the new drivers and CCC method to get the newest drivers installed cleanly.
If you are still having issues after that, then we can look at other possible problems.
EDIT: Also, make sure you are setting the Launcher to close after starting the game. There are memory leaks that others have tracked down to the Launcher remaining open. See Hyperstrike's guide on the settings for the Launcher for instructions.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.
Black Pebble is my new hero.
Thanks TJ,
I thought I had upgraded to 11.9 but I suppose not.
Nice tip on the launcher too--I've definitely been leaving it open.
Will try soon--onna team atm though

Since you have the Task Manager open anyway, how much RAM is CoH using when you have to terminate the process?

Hopefully, the driver change will end the need to use task manager, so there might not be an answer forthcoming.
Well, I'm an idiot.
The only reason I bothered to post all that info was that I was sure I'd already updated the stupid video drivers. I guess that was a different comp, lol.
Anyhow, updating to Catalyst 11.9 and setting the launcher to close at launch allowed me to play a good two hours w/out incident so it would seem my issue is resolved.
Thanks again TJ

Just to add to this... I'm using a brand spanking new machine and running CoH from a solid-state drive with 8GB of RAM and was having the same issue with it getting stuck on loading screens. The store had preinstalled Catalyst 11.8 and I was pretty irate about it given the spec above should mean no loading issues.
Upgrading to 11.9 does seem to have resolved the issue, haven't crashed in several extended play sessions since.
Thanks TJ,

I have been consistently crashing out of the game in the same way every time.
The game runs smoothly and quickly, but during any prolonged play session (1hr+) the game will freeze during a loading screen.
The only way I have found to recover is to fire up the Task Manager and end the program.
I will include the "CoH Helper" and "Hijack This" files (my thanks to Hyperstrike for the step-by-step guide), and here are my basic specs:
