Weird-ass problem with new computer and world of warcraft
<< < (4/9) > >>
Badspot:
I've seen this happen to 3 video cards over the years.  It's basically just RAM failure.  It gets worse over time and eventually you'll see artifacts even in the bios screen, indicating that it's clearly not a software issue.

i was suspecting this because wow would only crash when i would be in the legion, resource-heavy battles

i have the same problem but it's an rx480 this time, as depicted in the screen. no crashing issues however, the screen glitching only happens like less than occasionally

it's what badspot said really, may look like a video card issue but i feel you need to do something with your RAM.

also jun is correct:



additionally, if you're crashing and you get some message like "Video rendering device has been lost!", try underclocking. that's only if you get that message and your Overwatch crashes.

i don't get any message. the event viewer just has some event of kernel-power
my computer freezes, the artifacts pile on, and then it shuts down and attempts to reboot itself without any input from me. i never get any message

i know, but it happens to some of the AMD cards like what i'm using**. still, underclocking isn't a bad idea

to be frank i hardly know a solution for this other than underclocking or lowering the power limit but it sounds like what badspot is saying is reasonable, maybe buying new RAM sticks is a suggestion then?
