I had exactly the same freezing problem, it improved considerably when i set the speed of my RAM down from 400 to 333 in the BIOS - can't do any harm to try.

To the OP: You've got a CPU or RAM overheating problem. Seriously. The only other alternatives are that you have an insufficient power supply or faulty RAM capsule; if it was the graphics card overheating you should see graphical glitches before everything locked up.

Have you tried running your computer 'open', like another poster suggested? If that makes the problems go away, you need to get better ventilation of your computers case.

What makes you sure you do NOT have an overheating problem?

Server's back up, and there's been a small update too.. but it still freezes for me.
Looks like i can't play anymore..

*edit*
Just got the BSOD for the first time ever.. Only ever happens on GW, no other games.

*edit again*
Re-installed GW, things have gone worse.. I'm pissed off.. Don't understand why i can't get support for a game i payed £30 for!

To Numa Pompilius:

i am sure its not overheating cos i have played the game for 7 months without this happening. Ohh and i have tried playing with the case off.

When you start your computer press delete repeatedly to enter your bios set up. Select 'advanced bios features' from the options then alter the sdram frequency from 400 to 333, save the changes then exit setup. Hope this helps.

Yep sorry - it's under 'advanced chipset features' not 'advanced bios features - my mistake.
