    Hey ppl,
    I've been experiencing hard crashing on Warcraft3 frozen throne during gameplay (after different amounts of time) in which the screen freezes and becomes distorted with black rectangles and green static/artifacts.

    I was curious if this is known as a driver issue with WC3, or is this due to overheating or a faulty GPU or something? This constant crashing is really starting to become irratating so any tips would be much appreciated!

    EDIT: btw, I'm using the 14.33 intel drivers

    Even though that might fix it, I would prefer to know the root of the problem.

    in that case, considering that warcraft 3 is pretty popular on the x3100. Anyone know what the best drivers are for this game?
