Warcraft and overclocking problem

oxygene · 29 Nov 2009 at 13:16

Ok I've had this problem before but didn't think anything of it. Recently I over clocked my amd x2 6000 (3.1ghz) to 3.25. wonderful, no problems, just a switch of the fsb. Everything works perfectly. Then I notched it up to 3.35 ghz and everything still works fine. Cept for Warcraft (WoW), which now will crash with an error message within a short time of playing. I clocked back to 3.25 and its fine again. Anyone know what causes this?

From your post I would say WOW is causing it.

Test your RAM for stability.

Try testing ram for stability again.

His PC isn't stable, it's not a WoW problem but an unstable overclock problem. If his overclock had somehow corrupted his WoW install it would exhibit the same issue when he downclocks...

I'm sure it cant be something like that? I play supreme commander fine for hours and thats noticeably cpu and ram intensive?

Trust me, if something doesn't work when your PC is overclocked, but works fine when it's not, it's your PC that's unstable.
