    Hey

    Warcraft 3 used to work fine on my computer. I just recently reinstalled it and after 5minutes into a game it hangs and the entire computer crashes.

    I noticed that in the War3 menu with single player, bnet, etc. if i hover over the buttons, some of the graphics in the background flicker, or glitch. This is what happens in the game just before my computer crashes.

    I was wondering what is the problem? I've thought of these possibilities.
    -Not enough power going into the computer (when i shut down my computer, and try to turn it back on, it turns on for 2 seconds then turns off...I have to hold the power button for 3 seconds to get it working usually)
    -Graphics card is a Radeon 9800 series. I installed the latest driver, still no luck
    -I have a VGA splitter cord (cheap chinese ebay one) and have my LCD TV and Monitor plugged in simultaneously, any problems there?

    If I can't find a solution I might just reformat.

    I'm not sure how do you check? Could power actually be the problem?

    I have one output in my room and there are A LOT of things using it. Computer, tv, wii, printer fax, external hdd, battery charger, phone, modem, and afew more.

    Do you think you could be a bit more percise or helpful?

    Or are you just telling me a interesting fact about your brothers problem which is similar to mine?...

    OMFG even after I reformatted it still does it. It has to be a hardware or driver problem.

    To upload files use http://files-upload.com/

    thanks alot if you can find the solution to this problem.
