Vista Ultimate 64-bit random crash.

[JonD]

Installed Vista Ultimate OEM 64 bit over the weekend and everything went smoothy.

Over the course of the weekend I managed to get used to the os and then decided to see how WoW performed.

Now after about about an hour of playing WoW, the entire PC just froze. I could not go back to the desktop or get to ctrl+alt+del screen. Only way out of it was a reset. This crash happened about 4 times over the weekend.

I am not sure if this is a WoW, Vista or WoW and Vista issue.

Ive installed the latest driver for my graphics card and got all the Vista patches.

What could be the most likely cause of this?

Get the windows debugging tools and open the minidump made when the pc crashed its in windows/minidump I believe. This will give you more info about what error code was given etc. http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/default.mspx

I wouldn't be at all surprised if it was due to the Nvidia drivers....
