I have been through the gauntlet with my recent purchase from Dell... In short, I was sent a computer plagued with problems, in which I returned for a replacement computer. This 'replacement' computer, runs more stable and has had only one blue screen due to an anti-virus running while downloading Everquest 2. However, since I have made a return to the World of Warcraft... The computer has frozen on me twice now while playing!!!
My computer specs(Dell XPS 720):
- 2.93 Ghz Intel Quad-Core (2.66ghz factory overclocked)
- 4GB Ram (667mhz) (2.75GB shows)
- 2 Nvidia 8800 GTX graphic cards (SLI-disabled because it makes things worse)
- Windows XP (Media Center Edition)
A few days ago, I was playing World of Warcraft (about 4 hours of playing in), when everything froze! I was unable to exit the game and return to windows, forcing me to turn the computer off. This same thing happend last night, again, about 4 hours into playing!
Could this be an overheating issue occuring with the CPU? My Graphic cards are running pretty cool, and never get above 70 degrees C usually. However, I am not sure about the CPU... At this point I am frustrated with this computer, and am stuck with it! I will never buy another computer from DELL again...
If any of you may have any thoughts, suggestions, or comments, I would be greatful for your help! Thank you in advance!
