Dell XPS Crashing on WoW Character Screen
past two weeks or so my Dell XPS L502x laptop has been crashing whilst playing World of Warcraft, at first it was just random, but now I can't even get past the character selection screen without it crashing. I've tried lots of different things, drivers, restoring my laptop, ran diagnostics (all said everything was working fine) so I don't actually know whats causing this problem.
Usually the laptop just completely freezes and the only way to fix it is manually holding the power down, but sometimes before this happens I get the "driver has stopped working and has recovered" which then a few seconds later leads into the system crash, but this doesn't always happen.
I thought it was because of the recent Nvidia driver and I spoke to someone at Nvidia, they suggested I went back to using a previous driver but got the exact same crash.
The laptop works completely fine on other things, browsing internet, watching videos. It's just World of Warcraft. I've re installed it which also didn't help.
Would very much appreciate any help anyone has to offer, I've searched the four corners of the internet trying to find a fix to this trying all sorts of things with nothing that actually works.
Scruffy!
