Ok here is my problem,every once in a while when i'm playing WoW,my computer will automatically restart itself. i'm not sure the problem but i think its from an error,because i get that "your computer has recovered from a serious error" error report. so i'm not sure if this is a problem with my driver (s) because i can not see the error,i have seen a few related topics to this one( one of them being [ http://www.geekstogo...WoW-t72484.html ]it seemed helpful but im not sure if my specs/computer was the same as the guy who had this problem),but none were very helpful so i wanted to start my own,any help will be greatly appreciated i want to play WoW very badly.

im completley retarted with computers im not sure if this website is what i need but...


http://downloadcente...s...8&submit=Go!


if anybody could go there and just maybe list some of the drivers i guess it is,that i could use to update my computer that'd be awesome.

ive ran a system test to see if my computer met the minimum requirements and everything passed,but my video card barley passed i dont think thats the reason though (website source: http://www.systemreq...referrer/srtest ),so im not sure if i should update my drivers or not still dont know even what/how to update them.

Hello and welcome to G2G!

WOW requires a graphics card that supports Hardware Transform and Lighting which unfortunately your Intel 82945G doesn't support.

The BSOD is caused by ialmdd5.DLL and that file is the part of the graphics card drivers.

The updated graphics driver are located here this probably won't help because of the lack of Hardware T&L support but you can always try. Download the file, uninstall your existing drivers via add/remove programs in control panel, restart your PC, run the downloaded file to install the new drivers (it's a wizard based setup program so just follow the onscreen instructions), restart the PC when it tells you to and then your done.

If it doesn't work then the only two options you have is upgrading your graphics card or getting a new PC.
