coknuck Posted May 27, 2008 CID Share Posted May 27, 2008 I might be wrong but the only problem, might be the Video card or he found something cheaper and wants his money back. If you sold it "as is" tell him/her to kiss your ass! Edit here are the minimum requirements for the game. http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/faq/technology.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coknuck Posted May 27, 2008 CID Share Posted May 27, 2008 Yeah, I know double post here are some of the reasons WOW give for "Crashes, error messages and lockups" http://us.blizzard.com/support/index.xml?rootCategoryId=2316&gameId=11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhapsodyfan Posted May 27, 2008 Author CID Share Posted May 27, 2008 thanks for the reply he knew what the specs were before he bought it and he said he and his wife and kid all play it so i assume he has more than one computer playing it. by the way my brother in laws computer is a gateway that has the same graphics card and only 1 gig of ram and is 5 and half years old. so was i in the wrong here?

coknuck Posted May 28, 2008 CID Share Posted May 28, 2008 If there all playing at one time they might be running out of band width or they need to split the speed better with their router. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buntz Posted May 28, 2008 CID Share Posted May 28, 2008 What monitor is he using. He can try lowing the resolution on the monitor, less strain on the video card. Also check to make sure the video card is not overheating, He may have to clean out the vents. The card is not overclock, that too can cause it to freeze.

dlewis23 Posted May 28, 2008 CID Share Posted May 28, 2008 bought the computer brand new in december of 2007 so its 5 months old. this guy keeps calling and is now hurrassing my wife telling her we are a bunch of crooks and how can we live with ourselves. i sold it as is and listed the specs of the computer for him to see, its even on the computer case. any help would be great. thank you After that I would tell him to go fuck him self, it was sold as is, you know what you where getting when you bought it, and it works as its suppose too, a 6100 is not a good card for playing games. If you don't want to go that route, tell him to lower the resolution and the details of the game, he probably has it too high for the card as again the 6100 is not that great of card for gaming. Also tell him to update the drives for the card if they aren't the newest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommie gorman Posted May 28, 2008 CID Share Posted May 28, 2008 Heck, I'd just tell him to find a forum of friendly folks to point him in the right direction. Right off the cliff. Kidding, but he could get his own help, as it is his problem really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdogg53 Posted May 28, 2008 CID Share Posted May 28, 2008 Tell him to stop calling. After you receive one of his calls, dial *57 (STAR-5-7), Your phone provider will then receive this information. After 3 *57 traces, the police will be dispatched to the caller and either a ticket for harassment will be issued or a warning leading to a ticket will be issued. I would let them pick.

Dark06 Posted May 28, 2008 CID Share Posted May 28, 2008 If you explain it to him that it was as is then tell him to fuck off thats when i sell anything electronical i write a note ________ is being sold to ________ for $ ____ in the form of "as is" with no refunds or exchanges available and no warranties as to the condition of the item I Sign my name he signs his make two copies and there you go your not liable for anything May seem like a hassle but it takes 2 minutes to type it up and print 2 copies Then it only takes 10 secs for both to sign the copies this is esp. importand if selling a used car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vern Posted May 29, 2008 CID Share Posted May 29, 2008 I play WoW with no problems on a machine that is less than that one is. Tell him to call Blizzard's tech support for help with HIS problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blako Posted May 29, 2008 CID Share Posted May 29, 2008 You need more info before diagnosis. Saying it "freezes" is of little help. 1 How long of a freeze and how often does it happen? 2 Does the game crash to desktop or restart the computer, error messages? 3 What is your internet connection and ping? 4 Are other programs running in the backround? 5 What is your framerate? Some how you need to isolate the problem to hardware: cpu, videocard, internet, or software: drivers Good note for the future Dark06.
