Problem solved. World Of Warcraft Freezing

[XXsAnCt1F13DxX]

My world of war craft runs fine and sometimes it freezes for a few seconds and you can here the audio and then the screen turns black and you still can hear the audio but you can't tab out of the black screen so I need to restart my computer HALP.

Now when it freezes it freezes with a black screen for a few seconds then blue screen of death restart.

You sure your graphics card is working correctly?

Everything else is working fine for me.

What addons do you have? There could be a problem with addons, I know that outdated Recount really fucks up the game.

 

[Meowcenary]

Are your video card drivers up to date and what not?

Right now I have none when I get max level which aint far off that's when i'm getting addons.

I dunno, try deleting your Cache and WTF folders in the WoW folder, it usually fixes some problems.

Well it didn't work but a crash before that it now shows the Blue Screen Of Death so it's more than just some broken files I guess.

BSOD is usualy a hardware or driver problem, I would investigate your graphics card firstly.

 

[Blar]

I concur with Maddo. Back when I used to play, I had a similar problem. It had to do with my GPU overheating due to it being quite old at the time.

As already said above, check your graphics card and make sure it's on the up-and-up.

In addition, make a Memtest CD (www.memtest.org) and test your RAM with it.

If possible, get us the BSOD stop error that you're getting. It'll look something like 0x80001234.

Well I will try and update my drivers or graphics card first. My graphics card is a ATI 9570 where would I find the place to update it.

Edit: I mean 5970 not 9570.

Have you opened up your case and physicaly looked at your graphics card to check it? dust, hair and all sorts of shit can clog the fan and components on your card causing it to malfunction/overheat.
Try something like this http://www.gputemp.com/ to monitor your gpu.
Have you been messing around in your bios? overclocking to much?
If you can borrow a card from another pc for an hour, you could test it with that, if it still crashes, you might need to start looking elsewhere.

I use nvidia myself, so dont really know a lot about ati, not sure if this is a help or a wild goose chase, but wasn't there a problem with catalyst and dx11? Maybe worth looking into, but still I can't think of much else to help you.

Yeah, i'm running DX11 so it may be something to do with that.
