referenced memory error


All of a sudden when I'm playing world of warcraft, these darn memory errors will pop up and crash the game. Sometimes it wont say anything at all and the last sound made by the game will repeat quickly and restart the computer.

I've looked online and there are tons of possibilities... game was writtin poorly or an addon in it was, memory could be dirty/bad, list goes on.

My heatsink on my cpu does vibrate a little... could that be the problem? That errors came around when the heatsink started to vibrate...

Hope I can have some help, they seem to be getting worst.

could be an overheating problem...

take your case of, and give the inside a good vacum (gently.... i often find that the brush tool is best)

while you are at it check that your memory chips are seated firmly in their slots and are not loose.
also cheeck all cables as you may have disturbed them when cleaning.

i tend to clean out my case every few months and i find that if nothing more the fan noise is greatly reduced.
