Using GTX 580, SSD, 12Gb ram (6 x 2 gb), ASUS x58 sabertooth

2 x monitors (not identical screen size)

When I've got all 5 toons loaded up, main on the big monitor, 4 slaves on the smaller one, usually when I switch windows, it swaps without issue, no problem. However, it's having issues where all of a sudden I will switch, and the window I switch to will start flickering with multi-colors around the edges. I can still see the game and it functions, just with flickering. The flickering will either resolve itself or go away after I repeatedly swap a few times.

2nd swapping issue I noticed is, I swapped windows, and instead of flickering, I get a black window, then when I try to swap back, the original window goes black.. then WoW crashes on those accounts and I get the "cannot read...." wow system crash error.

Anybody had this sort of problem and know where I should start troubleshooting? My first thought is RAM issue since the WoW crash pop-up refers to a reading problem, but I didn't write down the message. I'll write it down next time it happens.

*edit* I found a similar thread below with a similar issue but no definitive answer. Anybody figure this out yet?
I could have missed it but what Operating system are you using and what directory is your wow folder in

I ask becuase if its (Vista/win 7) and its using the apps folder to run the game you could have read permissions and not have write permisions that will cuase WoW to crash

Easy fix usaly to that is move wow outside of your Program Files Directory.
