[QUOTE="jacktar12, post: 563705, member: 45216"] Ok so I have been playing the video game known as WOW for the past couple years. I have been using a 2006 iMac which until yesterday was running on 512mb of RAM. Yesterday I installed 2GB of RAM into my computer and everything was going great until I got up this morning. I tried to Log into WOW and it keeps crashing the entire computer, causing me to use the power button to turn my iMac off and back on again, after approximately 5 or so minutes of game play. I am unsure as to what is causing this issue and don't know where to turn. Seeing as how the game ran well(albeit laggy) with 512mb of RAM the only thing I can see that would be causing this is the new RAM I installed. I am unsure of how to fix this problem and also unsure of where to turn for help. The rest of my computer is running fantastically well and I don't see any reason that this new RAM would cause the game to crash my entire computer. Any suggestions would be wonderful(and quitting the game is a possibility but I would like to reserve as a last resort since I have friends from the college that I transfered away from that also play the game and it is one of our only forms of contact). Thanks for your time and sorry for the long post. [/QUOTE]
