Hello all, I am running Windows XP and my COMPUTER specs are: AMD Athlon 64x2 dual core processor 5000+ 2.61 ghz, 2.00gb or RAM. I purchased a Nvida gforce 8600 gt from circuit city and a 500w antec power supply for my computer YESTERDAY. Installed it booted the computer downloaded the newest drivers, and everything seemed fine. Went to play World of Warcraft to test it out and randomly within the first 20 minutes of playing my computer will just freeze up while playing or all sorts of weird things will happen like the screen will zoom in or the steps in the main city will be all black but everything ELSE you can see. I am guessing this problem is from overheating but no real clue. Any help would be much obliged I will be back in 3 hours from post time to troubleshoot this problem. The 3 most common prblms. in your case would be , over heating, MEMORY , or incompatable hardware deviceDid you install the drivers on the disc that came with the video CARD? Sometimes, the downloaded drivers don't always work like they should.
do you have a sound card in you computer? some of the nvidia video cards have a conflic with sound cards.
