Crashing... but only in a certain game.

[Tute]

Hey all, got a problem that I hope you can help me with.

About a month ago I started getting random crashing while playing World of Warcraft. It's odd in that it's the only game in which it happens - I play C&C3, UT3, NFS Carbon, to name but a few and i've never had any problems with them.

It can happen anywhere in the game, but the framerate will stall, then the sound will stutter and stutter gradually until it's just frozen totally. Nothing will bring it out at all except a reset.

I thought it was my X-Fi doing it so I took it out and although it stopped for a week or so, it's started doing it again.

Any help would be appreciated.

Also, 8 hours Orthos/8 hours Memtest all passes fine.

tried the most up to date drivers for your card?

Everything's up to date.

Tried running just bare, i.e everything in system tray disabled, I closed as many processes as I could, keeping the system stable.

It still did it.

I'm really at a loss, i'm starting to think it's just another bug with WoW and my video card (3870X2).

You're in the beta team Tute you know what you have to do

Did that a while ago Tom, you know me better than that surely?

Just reinstalling WoW as we speak.

Okay...

Uninstalled WoW, rebooted ready to reinstall and it comes up with the "Windows has recovered from a serious error" dialog box.

That's not a good thing is it? :/
