M17x Memory Problems?

Recently I decided I was gonna start playing WoW again and they gave me 7 free days for the 5th year anniversary so I was happy to play. I started it up, activated the free time and started playing. After 2-3 minutes of play, blue screen. I got one every time I tried. Luckily I found out what the problem was and no more blue screen. But now when I play I get the infamous WoW #132 error. I took to the WoW forums and they recommended trying a Memory Diagnostic Test. I did that and found out I have memory problems. The problem is that WoW is the only program I ever have problems with. I run Photoshop and don't have a single problem but WoW doesn't run right. Also the last time I ran WoW was back in October before I upgraded to Windows 7 and never had a problem with it then.

So I came here to ask you guys this, do I really have a memory problem or are there ways to fix this? I saw somewhere online that I may need to update the BIOS. Could this be? And how would I go about doing that? I'm also running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

Thanks!

 

well, i know someone who had wow & w7 64bits and had issues, i really dont know much about wow but you could try some quick memtest but tbh it cant be the bios

 

Windows 7 has built in memory diagnostics but it's also on the Dell resource DVD.

 

what he said lol, you can also run Memtest also, it does take longer but IMHO its a lot more accurate. Man a lot of people are having issues with WOW. Maybe just for fun i should download free trial and see what it does with mine. Mine is screwed up also though overall randon bad frame drops.

I am just going to ask now before somone else does, did you check your GPU temps also? It dosn't hurt. GPU-Z is good for that. Last before i forget.... um opps.. Oh ya its really wired that you say blue screen of death i had issues with random BSOD in games. I thought it was my hard drive, i disabled the back one from raid and just using my one 320GB HD in plain boring mode and they stoped. Even fry Cry 2 that crashed everything on first level now plays great! Frinkin wired i tell you!

 

I tried it memtest and there were no problems detected. It's weird because the built-in Windows one said there was one.

Yeah I tried that originally.

Like, I said above there were no problems detected by memtest but the Windows one claimed there were problems. There have been many problems with this since the 3.3 patch of WoW came out earlier this week. I started playing again after that so I don't know if it's because of that or not. Anyways I'll try the GPU-Z program if I can find it.

I mainly posted this to see if there were really memory problems and if so how to fix them.

 

Ok I just tried WoW and the GPU-Z program said it was 58 degrees before and it got as high as 70 when playing. It got to around 70 and then it blue screened with a new error. This time is says "Exception Interrupt Not Handled" or something like that with the file dxgmms1.sys which I believe is a DirectX file.

 

Im having a somewhat similar problem, except my blue screen is related to an nvidia driver, and on top of that, most of the time my computer hard-locks when I play WoW, and when i reboot my computer, it continues to hardlock until I give it about a 30 minute rest. Ive done a full system diagnostic using DELL's tool, and found no problems whatsoever, yet continue to get pissed when my computer fails to function when im in a raid.
