Try these suggestions from Blizzard: WoW - Are you experiencing lockups or general crash errors? (PC)
I've been looking at new video cards. I want an ATI this time if I buy a new one. Anything out there for $100-$120? Or the equivalent of what I have, Nvidea 9600GT?
My motherboard, MSI K9N2 SLI Plantinum also has video. Should I try this to eliminate or confirm the GPU problem? If so, all I do is take out the old card and plug the monitor into the mobo socket? Do I need to delete video card drivers? If I install the GPU again I read there is some special process where you delete drivers, run some software and then install drivers again. Should I do this too? If so, what is the software?
Thanks for any help!

How about this, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...1296&cm_re=ati_radeon-_-14-161-296-_-Product? Probably overkill, what do you think?
That's a fantastic card, but unless you're gaming it is a bit overkill.
Have you tried any of the suggestions from the link I posted?
Turn just the monitor off for 2-3 mins then turn on.
When the screen goes blank go up close to the screen and look very closely to see if you can still see the faint image.
If doing the above gives a negative then it will be a GPU problem.
