BSOD playing World of Warcraft

[Crocus]

This is all kind of Greek to me.

I keep crashing in WoW. I have been working with the Blizzard tech team and I did a Memtest last night and it isn't my RAM. They thought it might be the onboard graphics interfering with the graphics card. I disabled it. Still locks and hard freezes or crashes to a BSOD. It is getting really frustrating. I can post my dxdiag if anyone needs. I just dont want to load y'all down with too much infom.

Any help would be greatly appreciated it. I need my WoW fix.

What am I looking for on that thread? I'm guessing from that link that it is definitely graphics card related which I suspected as I was having the same problem on an older computer but using that graphics card. The computer guy that I took it to said that the card was fine but it was probably a driver issue between WoW and my driver. I kind of hate to spend more money especially if there is nothing wrong with this stupid card but I'd like to be able to play the game so I'm half tempted to buy a new card.

I did the Furmark burn in test and it has been running for almost 20 minutes and is staying 73C. Do I need to let it run longer? I definitely play WoW for longer than 20 minutes but I don't want to accidentally fry the card if there is nothing wrong with it.

I did a that memtest last night and let it run all night. My memory was all fine.

All my drivers are updated. I don't overclock anything. I'm just happy that I know where the ram and graphics card live in the computer.

I'm running the scannow thing right now. It came back and said that it found corrupted files but repaired them and pointed me to a log which when I try to open it, I get "access denied."

Does it BSOD in any other games?

Can you test the gfx card on another PC?

 

[Crocus]

I only play WoW these days but I could download a free trial of Rift or something to see if it bugs out on that. This is the 2nd computer that I've had a blue screen on using that graphics card. I don't have another pc to test it on anymore.

Doesnt sound good for the card if its causing problems on seperate machines, have you tried uninstalling drivers running http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/83814-drivers-clean-left-over-files-after-uninstalling.html then reinstalling new drivers ?

 

[Crocus]

Yep. Luckily the card was still under warranty from where I bought it. I called them and explained that it was still a problem and getting worse. They are going to switch it out with a Nvidia Saturday. Ironically after I did that, I think that the thing died. I crashed one last time in WoW. And now it crashes in Windows too. I had to get in safe mode and disable it in order to use the computer.
Thanks to everyone for their help!

I learned a lot of things trying to figure this out. (Mostly that I am she with little patience and that stuff needs to work right or else I want to throw it out a window)
