I did a custom build:
E6750
2 gigs, corsair xms
Gigabyte N650SLI-DS4 MB
xFx 8800 GTS 320mb
XP pro 32bit , all critcals etc.

I cannot play World of Warcraft for more than 10 minutes before I get a Blizzard crash. Occasionally a BSOD.
I installed Oblivion, same deal, 10 minutes I get a Microsoft crash.

ALL drivers, BIOS, etc., updated. Tried under/over clocking video RAM 10Mhz, vertical sync on, RAM voltage adjustment, WoW repair/no mods. I've purchased 3 different pairs of system RAM. All sorts of application video adjustments. Nothing works.

I'm at the end of my rope here, it's either the video card/drivers or the MB set-up. The WoW tech forums are flooded with similar 8800GTS scenarios. Does anyone have anything else to try before I RMA the video card and purchase an ATI?

thanks! (crossing my fingers)

Well I have new information that 100% clears the video card itself.
My buddy took the card and had zero issues with WoW for an entire evening. I was convinced it was the graphics card, but now it appears to be the MB or the install. Thanks for your time.

Well at least you know its not the video card. You can also try the RAM one at a time, hopefully its not the mobo.
