    Okay, I just got an Alienware, they're known for their gaming capabilities which means good graphic cards and etc. I loaded World of Warcraft and saw the graphics on there is a huge improvement from my old computer. Now, why the hell does my game keeps on freezing up and once it freezes up, I tried to end task the game and it wouldn't work. It'll stop on its own timer and once WoW quits, my whole desktop, laptop rather, freezes too. Everytime this happens, I have to restart my laptop, this is annoying and frustrating. I checked that my video card drivers are up to date so I don't know what to do......

    ok first I dont know anything about ATI so if Im wrong dont flame me. Ok now thats out of the way. I know WOW doesnt like SLI and that you have to run the game with SLI off, maybe its the same with ATI and you need to turn xfire off.
