Ok,
I recently got my VX1 ASUS laptop back from the shop and decided to reinstall WoW. From the ASUS receipt, they claimed my motherboard was faulty and it was replaced.
When I finished downloading and patching up WoW I logged in and everything seemed fine and dandy.
About 5 minutes in, I started to notice fuzzy backgrounds appearing and then ever so slowly it started to get worse and worse. All the graphics then had a seizure as lines of green and black flicker at near blindibg rate until the the laptop cant handle it and consequently resets to a black screen for about 2 minutes, then my characters appears again without any distortions at all. This cycle repeats until I have a seizure myself and cannot continue to play.
Any help would be Sweet.
Specs:
NVIDIA GeForce Go 7400,
Display: 1280 x 960 (32bit)(60Hz),
DirectX 10 installed,
Main Driver: nvd3dum.dll,nvwgf2um.dll, Version: 7.15.0011.7948
OS: Vista (32bit)
Intel Core 2 T7200 @ 2Ghz

Also another note, when the game does freeze and I minimise WoW.
An error on the toolbar appears saying:
Display Driver 'nvlddmkm' has stopped and recovered
After that the game runs fine for another 1 minute and then repeats this horrible cycle again.

Have you tried updating your video drivers? It's obviously at least part of, if not the entire problem.

Iwould update not only your display drivers from the manufacturer but the intel display drivers from their sight.

Ok since it's a laptop and vista make sure you have hotfix KB940105. If you dont get it. another thing you can try, but it may or may not work is getting evga precision tools, gooogle them, if the card has a fan(laughs in a laptop yeah right) turn the fan setting from auto to 100. lastly it is definitely a vid card issue and might very well be heat related if its under warranty bring it back and demand a replacement. cause the f'ed up the mobo or the vid card

Downloaded the Hotfix...Didn't work
Got the Precision tools, no point to it because I have no fan :P
I'm pretty much sure ASUS have skimped me and put an old dodgy mother F'er board into my laptop, I might hurl some abuse at their phone centre for a while tomorrow.
