Hi there! As of the Dragonflight prepatch, my computer has been having strange issues with WoW. When I start the game up and run it for about 10-20 minutes, it will crash my GPU and I’ll have to restart my computer. Sometimes now it crashes it immediately on hitting the ‘play’ button and the application launching into the start screen. Temperatures look fine, power seems to be just fine as well, and it’s a brand new rig that I’ve bought as of like, one month ago.
This does not happen with any other game, as I’ve tried Dark Alliance on max settings, Vermintide 2, and a few others on steam. It seems to only be WoW.
I’ve done a clean install of my drivers, even installed the new NVidia drivers as of 11/16 and made sure to do a clean install there, and it seems to keep happening.
However, I can get it to not crash if I uninstall WoW and reinstall it and hop into the game before the game is finished downloading. Once the game finish its 100% download, the crashing starts again. Has anyone else heard or have something of this problem at the moment?

Outstanding third-party software conflict with another program in the background. You may wish to try disabling all startup items by following the steps Here. Make sure to restart the PC and retest.
Faulty hardware either due to an unstable factory overclock, power delivery, or actual faulty hardware itself.
If you have a moment it would be helpful for us to take a look at your Msinfo for clues.

Thanks so much for your time! I tried to limit the overclocking in the BIOS, but that didn’t seem to help either. I did order a 750w power supply incase my 600 was too low, but I’m not quite sure if that will help or not!

Here is the info!
Edit: So far I’ve been running the game for about an hour and a half on max settings (10 on the graphical scale in the UI thingie) with no problems in temperature or wattage. I’m able to have discord open and chrome open on this page and tabbing to them causes no issues. I still have not fully downloaded the game, as I just opened the client as soon as it said Warcraft was ready and playable.
Along with multiple P1: 141 which is a time-out and detection error, this occurs when the GPU doesn’t respond to Windows on time or reports back an issue. These issues can range:
Driver issue:
third-party software conflict
Unstable overclocking/undervolting
Unstable power delivery to the GPU either from the power supply or motherboard.
Overheating
Faulty hardware.
We are not equipped to fully resolve bluescreens these are normally advanced errors likely in this case given the bluescreens and TDR errors occurring together signs point to the GPU. The recommended path forward would be to consult with NVIDIA support Here. If they agree this is a hardware issue. The system manufacturer of the system or the GPU brand manufacturer can be contacted to review options such as repairing or replacing the GPU.
Not the best news but these are the best steps forward to getting this issue fully resolved so you can get back into action and enjoy your new system.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate the time you’ve taken to solve this! I’ll head in their direction and see what I can do about it! The first step is at least knowing where the general problem lies!
