Fatal Error... Help!

[Hacking_Beast]

Okay let's get going. I just bought Warcraft 3 and installed it. I played campaigns to see how it was and after a while it closed and this appeared:

It does it randomly, sometimes 1 hour after I start it and sometimes 1 minute after. Can anyone help me out? It is brand new

Hmmm...Well that used to happen to me so I just uninstalled it and reinstalled it and it worked but that was with Starcraft and on a different computer so you could try that.

I just tried the registry, maybe it'll help. Let's play and see if it worked

Hopefully it does work, I hate when people's games don't work.

I get these all the damn time, on blizzard games too. Everyone of them. I reinstalled and it sometimes fixes them, but it always comes back. I wish I knew why.

Have u scaned your pc for spyware, adware and viruses? Sometimes they can conflict with other programs.

Your problem I have experienced before and I have destroyed it. It CAN AND MAY depend on your specs of your computer, It would have helped us determine your problem. Here are some problems that may be conflicting wc3.

Too many programs at once running
Insufficient PSU (Power Supply Unit)
Defective RAM
IRQ Conflicts between certain hardware
BIOS setting problems (DRAM Voltage)
Corrupted dll files (game.dll could be corrupted)
Heat and Memory Leaks
Defective RAM/Motherboard/etc.
Virus

I fear for the second-last one because it will require sum major installation and reinstallion of Windows completely (well the Motherboard at least) email whitefang_36@hotmail.com (my email) and I will try to fix your problem.

Note: People may wonder why PSU is involved! Its basically your power box that powers your PC completly, if its insufficient then it will cause crashes because certain parts are lacking power to run, thus cannot run at all. If you do email me or display your specs. Open your case, and tell me your Amps of your 3.3V, 5V, 12V lines (all +).
