Asus M50Sv-A1 and World of Warcraft

(I wrote this in the owners lounge as well but im worried since its so far in it wont be read, sorry if this upsets anyone)

Hello, so im writing this on my second M50sv-a1 because the first one had some issues, and before i do the same thing with this one i have a question:

Is anyone using "world of warcraft" (WoW) on the asus m50sv-a1 without any problems?

I know it should run fine, but on my last one the game would, every 15-30 minutes, shutdown the whole computer (all lights would go off, screen goes black, etc) without any prior warning. Anyway long story short the company gave me a new laptop...

So hoping to install WoW again on this new replacement model i have, i just wanted to verify if anyone else is playing WoW fine... im using vista and have updated to service pack one, from what i can tell most drivers are updated now too.

Also, the company said my laptop had nothing wrong with it from their stress tests and could not reproduce the problem... i never did anything but update vista / drivers and install wow on the old laptop.. so it leaves me to wonder if WoW was the problem or not.

Thanks in advance

 

I would assume your previous M50 had a motherboard defect or an issue with the cooling system such as a fan not working.

WoW works fine on Vista to my knowledge, else Blizzard would be taking major heat from its subscribers.

 

WoW works in Vista fine, I have it installed on my computer.

Sounds like you did have a heat issue probably.

You could have tested that with nmonitor & speedfan. Both applicaitons offer temp logs so you could have gamed for 10 or so minutes and gone back to check the logs and see if the system was getting hot.

 

ok thank you very much for your help

Im going to go download nmonitor and speedfan now anyway just to see whats going on with this new laptop next time i try it
