Does this ever happen to anybody else, I log in to the Etrigg server and thats it. Everything freezes for about 5 minutes and then I get disconnected. If I am able to try to connect a second time it always seems to work properly but thats only if it lets me try to reconnect. This only happens on this server because when I play my blood elf on another server I have no problems getting on. Anyone experience anything like this?

I have never experienced this myself... Have you tried what Blizzard seems to recommend for everything else, deleting your WTF folder? I ask because it may be just a configuration issue on your computer. Personally I don't delete the folder, I move it and try things to see if it fixes it because after it is gone it get rebuilt with all default settings and I have to go through all my game settings and then all my addons too. Just a thought.. It might help, and it might not :) If it doesn't help you can always copy the folder back.

This happend to me once, not too long ago, on Kilrogg. But eventually, it started to behave...after the 5th logon.

well moots' system keeps locking up and rebooting during gameplay, and i get fatal errors that crash me to my desktop! aahhhhh i love this game!

Hmm.. I am so glad I play it in Linux now.. I haven't crashed since....

Are any of you using an Nvidia 8800 series video card? There's a known bug with those cards and TBC; it's been acknowledged but no one knows if the next Nvidia patch will fix it or if it's a Blizz thing. Either way it's the only game I have a problem with on my 8800 card, but it DOES cause reboots, lockups, and BSODs.

I have an ATI All-In-Wonder 9600 (wonder why it works) for video editing and stuff (this card is good for dropping VHS onto the PC, then converting to DVD). I had a few months where WoW would randomly reboot my PC on me. I've re-installed the drivers many times, sometimes going back to an earlier version. Knock on wood it's been pretty stable recently (but I still have an occasional reboot, although the frequency has drastically reduced). I have eliminated the PC power supply as the problem, but I also have gotten good about opening up the PC and cleaning out the dust and making sure to clean the cooling fan on the video card. A clean PC is a happy PC :)

WoW needs a specific computer that is design solely to handle WoW.

Sadly, if Blizzard support is any indication, I think you're right!

i would be down for a portable, wireless device for nothing but playing wow ^^
