Ok... well I built a computer for my brother a couple of months ago, and for Christmas got him a dual core 3800+.
Stock, overclocked, it doesn't matter - for some reason WoW keeps crashing on him. Same with CounterStrike sometimes. Any guesses as to what's up? MemTest and SuperPi both run fine when it *is* overclocked; but that's a moot point anyway. At first I thought it was a Creative card/NForce4 issue, so I had him disable the Audigy - still crashed.
Does anyone have any ieas what might be going on here? The manual advises against running four sticks of DDR400 - should I take it down to DDR333? Don't see why it would have been stable in Memtest though if that were the case.
I admit to not running Memtest past two passes - maybe I'll have him run it all night tonight. Right now I'm having him run Prime95, but I'm at a loss as to why this is happening.
