Windows 7 x64 freezes while playing World of Warcraft
I recently installed Windows 7 x64 RTM. I install only the driver of my wireless card D-link DWA510 via Windows Device Manager. No surperflux. Everything is recognized.
Installing WoW + 2 extensions. Starting the game, the downloader for the patch management will freeze at 10 ~ 12% systematic. Reboot manual. I reinstalled it once again.
I relaunch the game and started updating. And the freeze, systematically impossible to get into the game, the loading bar is full. But nothing. So manual reboot.
Has someone an idea or feedback why Windows 7 x64 freezes while playing World of Warcraft?

Several possibilities:
- Energy management position in high performance
- Update the chipset of the motherboard
- Disable aero
- Change ram voltage a priory windows 7 seeks unduly the memory controller, making the system more or less stable at a certain moment
- ATI driver bug

Reset all your voltages to their defaults. For login problems, Blizzard recommends to merge your Wow account with an account on battle.net. To see before accusing Window 7 64. Try also to go through the installer from Blizzard to see that if you are in managing your account. Also turn all your addon and wtf folder. Even I play wow on Windows 7 under 64 without any worries.

For your information, the processor is not overclocked, value is [Auto] in the bios. I have a battle.net account and I can log on in WoW. I can see the list of characters when I click on "enter the game" at the end of the bar loading, than it freezes. The sound freezes too! The wow installed is clean. I also tested removing the dir cache /WTF/interface and launching a repair.exe
Yesterday, I even updated the chipset and RAID controller driver (I'm on SATA) and turned on maximum performance for power management. Also updated the realtek driver from the motherboard. Now I am planning to mount the machine in XP mode and run wow. We'll see how it works.
