| Guest | WoW and the network crash/reboot I am truly not sure what to classify this under so I am putting it under games as it only seems to happen while playing World of Warcraft. (I WIll also leave something under their Vista Beta frorum.) I am currently using Vista releasee 5744 on an AMD 3000+; Asus A7N8X (Nvidia2) MB (with onboard E-Net port); 2gigs RAM; Gforce 6600; SB Audigy 2ZS PC with all the latest Beta drivers. For the most part the PC works great. I turned off Glass cause I was having some memory issues with DVD burning and otehr stuff and wanted to eliminate the display as the cause.. WHAT IS THE ISSUE: So the problem I am having is that when I play WoW and upon completing a quest (can take up to 5 seconds to actually occur, but the common factor is clicking quest complete and hearing the reward sound) one of two things happens: The first is that my internet connection goes down. For all intent and purposes my network is fully functional which I can test by going to any of the 6 other PCs connected and surf the web. On the game PC I canot browse the web or the internal network. I cannot Release/Renew and IP or even pink the loop back. Its just dead. The second thing that can happen is that the monitor goes black, the PC makes a weird humming sound and then reboots itself. The only consistant thing is that it ALWAYS occurs just after I have completed quest. Now it is not every quest cause I can go for hours sometimes and not have a problem, then once it happens it won't stop. The only think I can think of is that it is when the server is full (which I can tell cause of the queue that happens when I have to log in each time), but that is not even that consistent because after a whil with the issue the queue goes away buthe problem doesn't. Not sure if anyone else has had a similar problem, but I wanted to get this out there in case someone might have a similar situation. |

| Guest | RE: WoW and the network crash/reboot Quick note that I went out to the WoW site (should have done that first) and found this: Are you getting disconnected or is the game crashing when you turn in a quest? http://www.blizzard.com/support/wow/?id=aww01679p "carpat" wrote: > I am truly not sure what to classify this under so I am putting it under > games as it only seems to happen while playing World of Warcraft.

| Guest | Re: WoW and the network crash/reboot I actually had filed this as a bug during beta testing of Vista. It was a result of Nvidia's driver. I have yet to experience this issue in Vista x64 build 6000 (RTM).
