Hi all,my problem is probably common (I actually asked for help for a similarproblem in the past), but I cannot find any solution. While I play with World of Warcraft my computer keep freezing (totally,I have to push the reset button). I have Kubuntu 8.04 64 Bits and Wine 1.1.2 (but the problems startedwith the 0.9.59 and all the versions afterward) on a an Intel Core 2 DuoE6700, 2GB RAM, EVGA GeForce 8800 GTX; the motherboard is a "ECS PN2SLI2+ Extreme nForce 680i SLI Socket 775 1333MHz DDR2-800". The videodrivers are up-to-date (173.14.09), I am using a self-compiled kernel2.6.26, but the problem happens also with the default Kubuntu kernel(2.6.24-19). I did the "Registry Tweak" suggested in AppDB(http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=11329),but it didn't help. During my research, I read a page (I don't have the link on hand) wherethey suggested to disable "Texture Sharpening" from the Nvidia Settings,but it didn't help. So far I found no pattern for the freeze. It happens in instances, whenI am questing alone, and some time even while on the charactersselection screen; some time it freeze after only 2 minutes since thelast freeze and some time I can play for 2.5 hours. I did a memetest for 8.5 hours and it shown NO errors. My CPU is at ~40degrees Celsius and the video card at 74 degrees Celsius (and the Nvidiadefault "Slowdown Threshold" is at 110 degrees, so I think my video cardis not overheating). This freeze happens only with WoW, but unfortunately it is both theonly 3D intensive program in general and the only Windows application,so I have no way to state if it is Wine or the Nvidia's drivers thatcause the hang. The problem happens regardless if Compiz is enabled or disabled. I have uploaded some of the logs of my system (the last link isactually the WoW config file) if it may be useful (I found no clue):http://marcodifresco.interfree.it/marco/winefreeze/debug.txthttp://marcodifresco.interfree.it/marco/winefreeze/dmesg.txthttp://marcodifresco.interfree.it/marco/winefreeze/messages.txthttp://marcodifresco.interfree.it/marco/winefreeze/syslog.txthttp://marcodifresco.interfree.it/marco/winefreeze/xorg.conf.txthttp://marcodifresco.interfree.it/marco/winefreeze/kern.log.txthttp://marcodifresco.interfree.it/marco/winefreeze/Config.wtf.txt I have been having this problems since I installed Kubuntu 8.04; withKubuntu 7.10 it was working fine (and while I definitely want to be ableto play WoW, I will not downgrade the whole OS just for it). I tried tore-install Kubuntu 8.04 from scratch just in case there was a screwedsetting, but it didn't solve the problem. I asked in the Ubuntu forums(http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=822540) how I can debug thefreeze, in order to track down the problem, but I didn't got an answer. I don't want to sound lazy (especially since I will probably still wastea lot of time on this issue anyway), but I would like to keep the "tryanother 3D game" test and the "Regression Test" as the last resort,since they are both very time consuming (but eventually I will do themif it is necessary). Any idea?
