    Anyone else get any BSOD's ? ( Blue screens )

    I got about 4 or 5 since yesterday. They usually happen whne theres allot of characters on screen at once. The game will become very choppy when spells are cast. Then eventually a BSOD.


    Specs

    E6600 2.4Ghz stock @ 3.6Ghz
    EVGA nForce 680i
    2GB OCZ 8500 @ 1000Mhz timings 5-5-5-15.
    EVGA 280 GTX
    X-Fi Fatality
    Windows XP SP3

    Anyone have any ideas? Been running other games fine with this overclock. And I even tried reducing my speed a little didnt seem to work.

    Other games are almost certainly singlethreaded. WAR isn't, it stresses multiple cores, so it's possible the second core isn't quite happy at 3.6GHz. I'd suggest dropping it to stock and seeing if occurs at that.

    You get no choppy movement or animations when allot of spells going on?
    What settings have you got you game at high quality, balance, or Highest frame rate?

    Could you tell me your PC specs as well please :D

    It seems to me that it could be a memory issue as when I first load the game its quite smooth and about 30mins later it will begin to get sluggish.
    I'll try reducing the CPU clock when I get home !
