Your sound is onboard?
If so WoW doesnt support Onboard sound or graphics.

You will need to buy a sound card.

[Rods]

so having a soundcard onboard it will make my computer restart or shut down completely

i installed a new driver on my video card but that doesnt seem to be the problem my computer still restarted while i was trying to play World of Warcraft

I'm not saying that your onboard sound would make your computer restart but if your sound card drivers have crashed, the game trying to use it could cause it to restart. It is a long shot but may happen. As I say before WoW doesn't surport onboard sound or graphics.

Have you tried installing WoW manualy. The auto installer may have missed many files causing the game to crash and restart your computer to help save your files.

onboard sound card doesnt make your computer restart when trying to run World of Warcraft. My brother's friend was able to run wow without a problem with the onboard sound card.

[Rods]

Yes i have tried reinstalling WoW 3 times but everytime i try to play i it still will make my computer screen go black or shut down and restart

[Jazza]

i installed a new driver on my video card

Have you tried rolling back a driver?

Do you have anyother Graphics/Video card you could try?

Jazza!

[Rods]

nope i havent tried rollingback my driver i will try though thanks
