The crash you're seeing is most likely a setting or other option relating to sound/graphics etc that is causing it to close on launch.
As Hazmat posted your Dxdiag (steps how to post this are outlined in the 'how to get help sticky in my sig) so when you can post that but also try this:
Click on the Windows "Start" button.
Then click on My Documents or Documents.
Double-click the The Lord of the Rings Online folder.
Within there locate and rename the userpreferences.ini file (eg. olduserpreferences.ini).
Relaunch the game, log in, but pause at the server selectlist.
Before logging in click the button in the row in the upper right-corner that has the single down-arrow on it.
Choose Options from the menu that brings up.
In there under the Repair tab click to enable the Reset game display settings option and click ok.
Then select your preferred server and launch the game again to test.
At this point if you get the prompt asking about DirectX 10 or 11 graphic mode choose "No" to launch in with the default of DX9 mode.
If you're still crashing after that I would recommend both a tech support request if you haven't already but also posting a dxdiag as well.
