What do you want to me to exactly, I dont really understand due to my not that great english,

At the moment im doing MemTest with 2 sticks and its at 90% Pass, no Errors so far. I will take a screenshot and post it here once its done.

Im thinkin the problem might be in World of Warcraft itself, the freeze happens usually when I actually dont do anything and just sit in like one place and there is no ppl around me.

I played Assassin Creed everything on ultra/max settings for about an hour and nothing happend,

but I have never had such a problems with WoW and I play it for like 8 years for 12+ hours a day . Thats first time

After you post those, considering your recent freezes, remove one stick so you only have one stick installed and run MemTest on it for 6-7 passes. Or till it fails, which, consider your problem, will likely again result in a freeze.

The screen would freeze for a few moments, then go black then recover with a message reporting a TDR. Changing to a different driver caused the system to hard lock instead of recovering but still provided a message in event viewer though this time to the effect of display driver timed out. In cases like this where the screen freezes before the rest of the system usually it is reported in event viewer. If there are error or critical events then the issue may be driver related, if not then it is more likely hardware.

I don't game, but I've read certian display drivers, usually older ones, can have issues when a new release of the game is introduced. Read of those problems for years and years now.

I believe you. So what you say above is all WoW to me

Clarification

Where after installing new graphics drivers over the top of the existing one and DLL's or whatnot do not get updated in the process.

Resulting in a hodge podge of varying this and that versioning of the now supposedly updated graphics drivers components. Not good!
