Hi there, i got some problems with my game since 2 days now, i log in the game and after like 5 minutes of playing the games starts to freeze and then crash and im always able to close WoW by task manager, the weird thing is i didnt change anything in the game or outside the game, just one day while doing BFD the freezes started to come, ive already desinstall and reinstalled the Nostalrius client and nothing changed :S.

Thanks for help.

I also have freezes/crashes.... It happens unregular. The game freezes or becomes very very laggy (nearly freezing like) Then there is a strange "meeeeeeeeeh" sound what sounds very unhealthy xD

I cant open the task manager and need to restart the computer by pressing the power button.

This never happens on other games (including much newer ones)

I am playing on a Dell XPS L502X... the drivers are fine as well as the internet connection.

I had that problem earlier with other vanilla servers. No problems on BC/WOTLK or Cata versions.

There could be a driver/software clash between the vanilla client and something else in your system.

Try downloading the client from a different source, to minimize the risk of corrupted files, and make sure that your antivirus isn't blocking/guaranteeing any files that WOW uses.

Try playing with VSYNC on and off, see if there is a difference.

Thx for the help. I investigated and found out, that many people have similar problems with their dell computers.

Some said, the key is to deinstall the Dell software. I did so and the problem dissapeared. But after 2 days it started again (not so often though)

I will do so and reinstall the game and will try the vsync thing...

It's weird, cause this never happens with other games :-/

Did any of you get it to work? I seem to have the same issue. :(

5 10 mins of gaming and then I freeze, can not open task manager, have to restart by using power button. Tried the vsync stuff, no change.
