Hey guys, I have been having some problems with my computer but have never seen this kind of problem before so if you would not mind taking a bit of time to read what i have to say and respond with any input you can, that would be great.

Ok....so these are my thoughts. When i built my computer i didnt have a screw to keep my Videa card sturdy againsed the case but it was still working. Soon after i relized that when i open my computer and move the vidio card it moves rather easily in the motherboard slot.

This is where the problem comes in. I have recently been having ootles of trouble playing WoW. Every time i log on it will freeze my computer and i will have to manually reboot it. I am thinking this may have to do with either my motherboard or video card. I did, however, get some input that it might be the game or hard drive...but that was not the case because i uninstalled, reinstalled, then reformated my hard drive and started from the beginning with absolutly nothing on my computer. Sure enough the game still doesnt work!

The oddest this is that I am still able to play CS:S , COD and Farcry which all have decent graphics. So i am now asking every one of you whether you think there is something currupt in my hard drive, video card or motherboard? I am willing to buy some new parts but i dont have the money to buy them all so i am trying to get this sorted out.

WoW is my main game and the only one that i cant seem to play so the REAL question is WTF is up with my comp?????

Ummm, why post in the Foyer as opposed to the Lounge or Chop Shop?

I run into a similar instance with WoW. My screen starts to flicker in game and then it locks up. No problems with my other games, i.e Morrowind, CoD, etc. I'm suspecting my video card. Once I get off my lazy butt, I'll drop bout $100 and see if it makes a differnce.
