Well I have a fairly old machine.
Ive been playing WoW with this computer for well over a year now and before that I never had any kind of crash of any sort. Im in no way computer savy but have a slight idea of what I may be doing. Ive been receiving WoW errors for the past month. In the middle of July my mobo stopped working, so I had to buy a new one. I got the same one so I didnt have to replace what wasnt compatible.
When the new mobo arrives I do a little bit or research why It doesnt connect to the internet. I find that it requires a Networking card, I dl that and the chipset to allow USB ports to function. Now that I could connect to the internet I load up WoW. About 30 mins go by and I get an error. "Oh well" I thought, "It happens." a while later, same thing happens. I check out the forums and read up how to correct the errors. A few days go by after I install a few things and updating as well. I load up WoW assured that the problems are clear. Everything works fine for a few hours before I get an error again. Still crashing and frustrated I email a blizzard tech. He gave me a list of things to update, reinstall, and a few computer scans. I do them all and everything checks out fine. Having done everything suggested I load up WoW. Its still crashing.
To this day Im thinking it could be something I installed that isnt compatible and is causing the problems. Or it could possible be the mobo that I got. Here is what I have.
