Fed up
by Celtsia | 13/05/2010 06:30:05![]() Ok I'm tired of this. I don't want some Blue googler answering me anymore. Get me a programer and have him explain to me exactly how my RAM (which has absolutely no problems whatsoever) can cause an error in installing World of Warcraft onto my brand spanking new laptop. This is a link to the thread in which all the problem's info has been given. Begin the explanations NOW!!!! http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=2470223 BLARG!!! I ARE CRAZY DRUID!!!

That's you trying to decompress data to figure out what's inside to feed it to the game. It's a big map file
The installer is trying to read something you downloaded. ADT files are huge.
Now you have a movie file. Those are large in comparison to the others. Either you have a math error on your processor which makes it fail checksumming/decompressing on the install and the game reading or you're storing it on bad RAM while it's working on the file. Memory is cheaper and isn't tested as well as a processor, and a processor failing tends to crash a lot more than just a game. Failing power supply is also a possibility (you'd be amazed at what computers do with data when the signal isn't stable) but that tends to happen more while running a game rather than an install. WoW's installer isn't as CPU-intensive as StarCraft II's. Computers aren't illiterate either so it can't misinterpret it unless your chipset drivers are bad. Those are really rare.
