pc reboots when wow starts up

[Mr anderson]

pc spec

amd 800 (320), now this is my firends pc, i know the spec is bad, but it does meet their mim spec. now the prob is when you start wow, you get two pages asking you to read the terms etc. now when i get to the second one the pc just reboots. now ive looked on the net for any answers but nothing yet. has anyone else had this sort of prob. if so how can it be fixed?

Check the min sys requirements for wow...I'd say most likely a HW/VC, related prob.......no offense but 800 AMD......

maybe a compatibility /old videocard driver

dirt build up on the CPU heat sink fan coz the CPU to overheat.

reinstall the game may help....

I had WOW problems similar to what you are describing, but my comp would reboot after I was in the game. The prolem occurred after new 'patches', it was working fine then I would have issues. This happened several times, if I recall correctly.

I updated all my drivers (Video Card, Sound Card, etc.) including the mother board and the problem fixed itself.

Is your friend running TBC? I believe the min system req may have changed, but not 100% certain. Also, does your friend have mods? That may be an issue as well.

Most likely a software glitch associated with old/outdated drivers. You could try uninstalling the game, update the MB, audio, and video drivers, then reinstall the game. You may also want to ensure the OS (XP?) is up to date. Some software/games specifically state XP w/SP1 or w/SP2, etc.

And min requirements are hardly ever sufficient to enjoy a game.
