Guest Draghenn Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 For awhile now I have been playing World of Warcraft and haven't had any problems. Recently however I have been freezing up or rebooting out of nowhere. I was wondering if anyone has had this problem as well and what the potential cure for this is.
Guest Draghenn Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 RE: System crash Oh also I use Windows XP on an HP Slimline. My system requirements are fine for the game but it is somewhat old. 2+ years.
Guest Bob I Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Re: System crash Heat is the most likely suspect. Try opening the case and clean out the dust bunnies.

Does the system get overheated? What error message you get or you can get it from the Event Viewer! Open a Notepad, customize or minimize to the taskbar as you will need it later for this step to copy the error message on it. Open a run command and type in: eventvwr.msc click [OK] you will get the Event viewer control Panel. click on each of these: Application System Security Look in the right Pane/window for error message with red (X) or Yellow exclamation mark /!\ , double click each one to get more info about the causer. On the Event error properties message you will see: Up Arrow Down arrow Two pages Click on the two pages to copy the error message then bring up the Notepad you opened earlier and right click on the first line and select Paste from the list, this will paste the error message on a Notepad. Please don't duplicate the error message one of each kind will be sufficient.
