Hey again..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am trying to play WoW and I keep getting problems, which I think could be related to my graphics card..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sometimes the screen just freezes, but i can still move the cursor.. just nothing else moves. Sometimes the computer just reboots itself and sometimes the game just crashes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have a Geforce 4 Ti 4200 .. I don't know what the problem could be.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks alot.

Could also be an overheating problem. What is the spec. of the rest of your computer?

 

 

 

What's the requirements for WoW?

my computer meets the reqs.. i think it could be overheating..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

but, im running the computer with the case off, etc..

Well if you're doing that, you could position a big box fan and have it blowing directly at your computer, it would cool it down significantly :)

what exactly is a box fan? lol

Put the case back on! Taking the case off can make things worse because cases are designed to move air through the pc to carry the heat out. If you have the case off there is little to no circulation and the heat can build up faster. Not to mention dust can settle inside the pc easier and get in places it shouldn't go.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are systems you can buy to monitor the heat in your pc and the efficiency at which your fans are running. You may want to invest in one of these as well as some bigger fans. Also they make kits of heat sinks that you can stick onto some of the other chips on the motherboard to keep them cooled down.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another thing you might consider investing in is a water cooling system. I've never even seen one though so I couldn't tell you what kind to get or how to set them up. Next pc I build I"ll probably put in a water cooled system. Electronics in general tend to run better when cooler and last longer as well. I read an article in a pc magazine where a bunch of companies sent in their top of the line gaming pc's and then they compared them. One pc had the top of the line hardware with everything overclocked, even the processor on the graphics card, but it had a water cooled system so they could safely overclock it without overheating.
