Wow keeps crashing

[Dylon]

Everytime i try to open WoW up it crashes, is anyone else having this problem/ anyone have any ideas to help me/us fix it?

check any recent UI add ons first....copy them out of the folder, restart wow, and see if it crashes...if you havent recently out any add ons into your interface file, then try restarting windows...if that doesnt work defragment and purge your harddrive...if that doesnt work re-install WOW...if that doesnt work get mom and dad to buy you an Alienware super gaming computer

Check your hard drive space. I ran into this problem when my game kept crashing. Enough space? Read below.

Now, before you go through all that mess, check your firewall if you have one. Does WoW have the proper permissions to access the internet? If it does and you shut your firewall down (depending on what you use), it can cause WoW to crash because it can't access the internet.

That's not the problem? Disable all of your addons load WoW. Does it work? Good. Then enable each addon one at a time until you find the culprit. Once you do, spank it, call it a bad program, and remove it from your addon folder to never be used again. Be courteous and let us know which addon it was so we can be aware of it.

Not an addon? Try the repair feature of WoW. It's built in. Just browse to your WoW folder and double click the repair icon. If it didn't work, continue reading.

Have you installed any recent software? New drivers? Use windows wonderful yet sometimes cranky system restore feature.

Still crashing? Now you have problems. Now it sounds like you have hardware problems. Now you have actual work to do. Check your RAM and video card. RAM first cause it's easiest and cheapest to replace. One bad stick can make a lot of stuff grind to a halt.....you get the picture troubleshoot the hardware. Make sure you have adequate cooling as well. An already overheated PC that gets to run a game like WoW will crash the program immediately if not shut your computer down to prevent damage.
