    hi all, i've seen a bunch of random forums on alienware with ppl mentioning this prob...just wanted to see if people could post their specs to see if there is any common thread....

    problem: randomly (5min-> 2 hours) wow crashes, cant ctrl alt delete it, cant log off, have to manually restart.......

    does NOT do this with integrated graphics card.

    im using 257.30, m11xr2, i7, 4gb ram.

    any ideas?????? doesnt do this with other games, so part of me things its cataclysm, but not sure.

    thats the prob, no logs, and no video crash error, its very odd.

    im really guessing its early blues...but i might try some new drivers...

    i wish some more people would confirm what drivers they are on....

    i dont OC my comp in any fashion, and use dell drivers, so its a little perplexing.

    nonetheless, no other game does it, and wow works on integrated, so its now AWFUL, but i do like playing at ultra vs fair.
