Common issue with the latest patch. You just have let World of Warcraft sit there frozen until it disconnects you from the server.

that dosent hold water   if that was the case then why wouldn`t my wife  right accross from me not be having ths same issueon her computer ??   adn  mine is still having the issue  still and tha patch was what 2 weeks ago?
 
I still think is is somthing to do with my system,  but  would cost  a C note   to ship it back to DS to have the issue  troubleshotted.   
 
I have only had one other system give me anythng close to as many problems as this DS  and that was one I built that turned out to have a bad motherboard.

I had the same sort of problem if i had my video cards overclocked. Once I went back to default on my cards WoW worked fine for me.

I also installed WOW on the computer I built for my daughter  lower end  GForce 9600 Vid  3 Megs ram Core 2 Dueo CPU  and it does not have this problem  which conviences me even more that it is a conflict in my DS computer,

How could it be the game if 2 other computers in the house running WOW do not have this problem of locking up ??

You may have some old drivers conflicting with your new, I suggest you download drive sweeper and remove all nvidia drivers and install the latest drivers. 

You might try disabling all add-ons in game and see if it that fixes the problem, if that don't work try using blizzards repair tool.

Hope one of the suggestions help, GL!

Not saying it's not your machine, I do have to confess that I have 5 rigs here playing wow at the same time and 3 of us lock at the same time and then disconnect. I am the only one with a DS rig hooked to satelite and, since it doesn't lock during any other games or surfing I put it down to WoW and their recent patches. We are a gaming family. Cool

It's weird, seems like WoW runs better on older computers. I've seen this happen to many people with high end computers and have troubles, while others with really low end computers have no problems at all.

uninstall your current drivers, run a registry cleaner, install the newest non-beta drivers from nvidia.

Is it only doing this with WoW? Try and see if it does it with other games.
