Weird-ass problem with new computer and world of warcraft
Daswiruch:
system specs:
intel i5-7600k
16gb corsair ram
msi z270 gaming plus
gigabyte gtx 1080 g1
i got this computer like 2 weeks ago and i've only been having problems with world of warcraft so far
whenever i attempt to close out of world of warcraft then i get these weird-ass green artifacts all over my screen, the computer crashes, and a red light with GPU shows up on this ez debug led thing on my motherboard and persists until i restart the computer. the screen goes black and doesn't recover. this only happens with world of warcraft. it may happen with other intensive games but i'm not sure yet because i have a max 180 kilobytes/s download speed and i can't exactly download 10gb of data in a day.
i've reinstalled windows and all of my programs but the problem persists. i've also updated all (or most of) my drivers several times and the issue hasn't resolved itself. i'm able to play wow just fine until i attempt to close the game. i've checked the temps on the gpu and they range from 50-60 c when i'm playing
ex of artifacts:
what the forget do i do? i don't have 600 dollars to replace the card and i'm not even sure if that's the problem. i can play any other game just fine
limerick:
its a sign you shouldnt play stuffty games

blizzard probably has a support forum, ask there

also this problem sometimes happens when entering a new area or doing something like teleporting to a dungeon
my latest crash/freeze/artifacting was when i decided to jump off of the starting area for demon hunters because my ping had become 2000ms and i was afraid the game was gonna crash when i attempted to close it
right when i hit the death plane the hang happened
also more info: sometimes this crash will happen when attempting to even take away focus from world of warcraft
sometimes if i hit the windows key or control alt delete my system will hang and crash

unfortunately i can hardly ever connect to the battle.net forums or store
don't know why. i can connect to literally everything else under the sun but the blizzard forums and store will not load no matter what i do
