thank you for all the replies. Since the time that i've posted this, i've tried a couple things like disabling all addons, reducing all details to minimum, running a single WoW client (in this case, just the actual folder that i noticed did all the freezing), running Scandisk and just general computer usage. All of these yielded the same result: Crashing, freezing and sometimes even a weird sort of system hang where the screen goes all green and splotchy and locks up.

I have not tried Memtest yet, but will do so when i get home. I haven't tried a reformat and a reinstallation of either both Windows 7 or WoW. I will take that route if it goes to the extreme though. I also believe that it might be a corrupt file that might've been copied over to the folder, but i haven't seen any results to come to that conclusion as of yet.

I will check the intel site to see whether the Gskill ram that i purchased is indeed compatible with the motherboard. I would hope it is, because i don't think the return policy on open hardware is very forgiving on the store that i bought it at

I also figure that it might be the physical harddrive that i installed it to. I notice that compared to my e8400 system, it seems that there is a lot more disk searching and thrashing than compared to what it used to be like before. It often feels like it stutters even in unpopulated areas; not just Dalaran.

I guess i could always just move everything over to a new drive (as there are three physical drives in the system). Will let you guys know what happens with that as well.
