System crash

[Guest Draghenn]

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.

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.

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.

Please we need just the error messages with Red (X) and don't repeat the

error, just one of each kind and post them back in your next post.

of the nearest window here.

It will be helpful if you post your Machine Model and make and some info
