9/10 times the game will crash for me. What happens is it's pulling massive amounts of data, maybe trying to load various kinds of dats (because there are dozens of people in 1 spot, and the game becomes very choppy sometimes briefly for 2-seconds and that's enough to trigger the "This program is not responding" and it crashes.

Try the above steps, but when you're in uldah, hit the walk button and slowly move forward giving your computer enough time to handle all the stuff it has to pull and display. It's less likely you'll crash.

As far as Direct X, i have no idea why that happens to me personally. It'll happen at the most random times, not just when doing specific things or loading or anything. *shrug*

I have an i7 2.8 and GTX465
Ive been in my mog house and its crash. logging on there and then logging crashing. I dont think this will work for me but i do think it is art of the reason.
