I put in 8 gigs of ram with a 1000W 80+Gold Psu and a 120 Gig SSD drive for the OS and a 1 TB drive for everything else
Now i cant get wow to load, everytime i try to load CATA i get the dreaded Blue screen(of death) and a crash, i sent a message to bliz, they said its probably my memory(which im fairly certain it isn't) Last time i had this happen it was a graphics driver issue, but i cant seem to figure this one out
I wouldnt rule out RAM being the issue even if its new and everything else seems ok. You can test it with this

If it passes, then yea, its prob something else.
i ran the windows 7 memory diagnostic tool, and it found no problems
driver_irql_not_less_or_equal
Is the BSOD error i keep getting
give me the exact full message of that, all of it, including the 000x00etcetcetc and I can tell you exactly whats causing the BSOD
Also, what ver of Windows 7 is it, and how much memory is in the system. I ask because some earlier releases minus hotfixes have issues with more than 4GB of RAM and there are individual hotfixes to download to fix it. I had the same problem on mine.
Might need to update the bios to.
I wouldn't rule out the video card. For some reason, my ATI card runs fine on everything for days with no issues.. but when I play a game the system just crashes. I've ruled out everything else including the PSU. Lyte's machine doesn't have the same issue, and the only difference between our machines is the ATI driver. The thing is, the crashes aren't predictable. The only pattern I'm kind of seeing is when I'm in areas with a lot of blues.
If you have an extra Nvidia card somewhere that will work in the machine, it might be worth swapping them out and testing with it.
According to the error readout you gave me, its a network card/driver issue. I need the actual crash dump files to analyze the exact driver thats causing the error. Thats why its crashing when WoW loads, it has to use the windows network calls to connect to the server, so every time it does, its causing that driver to throw an error to windows. Its either a bad driver, corrupt driver, or conflicting driver. If you attach the dump files to this thread, i'll read them and tell you exactly what the issue is and we can more than likely fix it easily with a change of driver or even an uninstall of something.
You can find your crash dump files here:
%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Windows\Minidump
Just attach the last 3 most recent ones so I can be sure its the same thing causing the crash and not a few different things all working against you that look like 1 thing. The files start with a date prefix for their names, its usually monthdayyear-#####.dmp
Ok, so i went to send you the dump files. But stupid windows 7 said i didnt have permission to send them. So i was trolling google trying to find out how to send them, and found that my board there were a few issues with the NIC
So i forced an install of network drivers, and crossing my fingers, im hoping no more BSOD
I sent a message to a friend of mine, and before i installed i was using
11.4.7 (i think)
I uninstalled it from the device manager and installed the 11.7.32.1003 version
Crossing my fingers
