So im back to WoW and really enjoying myself with it BUT since i have overclocked my CPU to 4.00GHZ WoW gives me errors every few minutes.
I put it back to stock and enabled speedstep etc.. and it works fine 100%.
This doesnt happen with any other game only WoW, any ideas ?
 
The only 2 things it comes up with is "fatal exception with memory" and a little white box in the center of the screen saying "Error" with an ok button and that is it, but only when overclocked and not with any other game.
 
I had this problem a while ago when I used to play. Turned out to be a RAM issue oddly enough. I swapped in different memory and never had the same problem.
 
Did you test only Small FFTs when using prime95 or did you do a 'Blend'? Is you memory running out of it's specification after you CPU overclock?

This.

Sounds like your CPU overclock is sound, but the memory is running out of it's comfort zone. If you ran the wrong test, the memory would sit there quite happy and un-stressed until you game.
 
Aye I'd agree this sounds like the cause. If possible, run your memory at a lower divider aka slow the memory speed down, and you'll likely fix the issue :) WoW responds fairly well to CPU overclocks as its very CPU intensive in some areas, Dalaran for example. Running Memtest will likely also error in time if this is the cause of the error as well.
