Crashing with Multiboxing.

[johny_mnemonic]

do you use 1 or 2 monitor setup? also, if your system crash, make sure to run it without OC (CPU/GPU). I bet, that your problem would be with your system overheating. Download CPUID HWmonitor and check all the temperatures and fan rpm, you can also view the state of your HDD.

I suppose I will have to try that. I set my Processor speed down to a VERY stable setting, but it still crashed after about 10 minutes with 4 accounts up, I dont want to reset my BIOS, but I guess it's my only option.

How old is the power supply?The older they get the less power they put out. From what I could find it has 4 rails for power out put-you should get get a power supply with a single rail-there is a formula somewhere(can't find it right now) for how much "power loss" there is with multiple power output rails.

I see you did list the timings on your RAM but just in case, go look up your memory manufacturer's recommended timings and make absolutely sure your BIOS settings match what they recommend. Once you have that set up, go get Prime95 (http://mersenne.org/freesoft/default.php) and run the torture test overnight. If it runs all night with no errors, then it is likely not a RAM or base system hardware failure, which would tend to point to the graphics drivers or hardware as the failure point.

So it's been a little while (Thanksgiving will do that :O) But I've done some more tests.

BIOS are now completely default, RAM is at Manufactures settings, all settings Default.

PC is 100% stable.

WoW still makes it lock up after only 1-2 minutes of only THREE accounts logged in now.

Someone mentioned my power supply. it's about 2 years old. I doubt that it is the problem as I can play MUCH more power hungry games like Battlefield 3, or Skyrim on Max settings(And then some for Skyrim) and they can run all day without a hiccup.

I'm beginning to lose my mind over this, I've run 3 accounts of WoW on my PC on High settings all day back in WOTLK, and I've had 5 Accounts logged in for about 15 minutes before as well (Friends account's just dicking around)

I just....I have no idea what can be the cause anymore, Defaulted BIOS, no indications of Hardware at fault, newest drivers...Nothing ever shows there is any indication of a problem until WHAM whole computer locks down.

A few days late here. Maybe try the free trial of isboxer and see if it still crashes. There may be something in your AHK config that is causing the crash.

Alternately, the first thing I do when I have an unexplained wow crash is delete the cache.

I'm having problems with 1 wow window crashing (as opposed to system lockup) but I made the mistake of changing 3 things at the same time : new graphic card, new ssd, new graphic driver (the latest on nvidia's site as of last week) and it was wow 4.3 patch day... that's with isboxer... I'm kinda wondering if the graphic card memory maybe has some issue - is there some program that would test the gpu memory's ?
(the card has 2gb and I suspect it works fine with games like batman but many wow take more texture etc... memory and maybe trigger something ?)

that or a bug in nvidia's driver or wow 4.3 - but if that was that there would be more reports from people here ?
