wow crashing???

vir-k · 11-04-2006, 02:34 AM

If I play the game for a long time non stop (like 4 or 5 hours )it crashes .First it freezes and after few minutes the pc turns off and on by itself .And it show a message which says that the 'pc has recovered from a serious problem'

I dont know what to do??

Have you checked your temps?Sounds like a possible overheating problem...

vir-k · 11-04-2006, 02:40 AM

yeah I had a temparature problem before , but when i check the temps they are always 52-60(cpu) before playing the game .what would be a normal temps for a nvidia geforce 6200 se graphic card???

You said before playing the game? It sounds, like starcab said, that after playing for such an extended period of time that the computer is overheating and then restarting itself to protect itself. Do you have a seperate temperature gauge (like on your case...) that can continue to function, even when the OS is unavailable?

start the game like literally start it past the menu and alt tab to the desktop and check your temps then

or just run the game in window mode while testing temps. i love that option.

Yes, if you do not have an option available to you to test the temps outside the operating system, run the game in window mode.

You might have mentioned before but what are your specs? Check your hardware, make sure fans are all functioning and the cpu's heat sink is free from dust and dirt.

the ingame temp is 60- 65 C (cpu) i think that is normal , what should i do?

WoW account? No, we don't have WoW accounts, we have all have lives....

sorry couldn't resist

Sounds to me like memory leakage if its not over heating. the game itself could be badly coded, or it could be something you are running in the background.

Does the HD start to rev up before the game crashes?

yeah sometimes , what should i do to stop the crashing?
