Sealed in my Sarcophagus.
Does anyone know of a free program to test all the memory on a gfx card? World of warcraft keeps crashing on me and this is the only thing ive not tested hardware wise. I cant seem to find one using google so thought id ask here if anyone knows of one?
 
Its just WoW that crashes on me. Its driving me nuts..... ive tested and replaced everything now... memory, cpu, mainboard, clean windows install, clean WoW install.... EVERYTHING.

Someone suggested the error was only associated with faulty memory ( which the ram isnt ) so im left wondering if somehow its the , otherwise fine, gfx card.

You would think there would be a utility to test your video ram but ill be damned if i can find one. I can run any other game ( HL2, FEAR etc ) full on four hours and hours... same with latest 3dmark. Surely if the gfx card or system ram was faulty it would crash running 3dmark overnight? :D

I personally think its driver related but WoW tech support just say its a memory problem and wont help me further. Its odd how it only happened literally a day since the new patch.

If it was a hardware prob, you'd expect the comp to crash when u played anything. Sounds more like problem with the code in WoW........think you hit the nail on the head with your suspicions about the patch.
 
There used to be certain areas in wow that ALWAYS crashed my mates gpu, like a graphics effect on a certain bit of scenery, it would work fine, but he couldnt go into a certain room in an instance without it crashing. Its was driver problem and was eventually fixed by ATI.
