3D vision is casing my computer to become unresponsive
This has been happening to me in World of Warcraft and Burnout Paradise. However i haven't bothered to update Burnout Paradise to the latest version so perhaps that is the problem with that game. World of Warcraft on the other hand is up to date and i have the latest video drivers and stereoscopic drivers.

So basically I play for about an hour and the thing works fine, than suddenly, without seemingly any reason the screen goes black, i lose audio, and the computer becomes completely unresponsive. I am forced to hit reset which does nothing other than, for some reason, allow me to hit hit the power button so i can finally shut the system down and start it again.

Because this issue only occurs over long periods of time I don't really have the time to test it, perhaps one of my mods is causing the issue. I [i]think[/i] that sometimes this problem doesn't happen all the time, i believe i played the game the other night beyond the 1 hour mark without a problem. However, this continues to happen and i was curious if other people have run into this issue and maybe have discovered what the cause was.

Perhaps stereoscopic mode does not like UI mods in World of Warcraft? I played through the entirety of Mass Effect 1 without a single issue like this. Thanks for reading, hopefully i can find the cause of this. Otherwise I guess i'll just reinstall Windows 7 and hope that fixs my problem.

Okay so this was obvious; disabling add-ons seems to have stabilized World of Warcraft over long periods of time. This post was kind of redundant since i had a good idea of what the issue was, it's just that my time is so limited, i didn't really have the time to test a issue that occurs over long periods of time until today; I was curious if others had encountered this issue in the mean time. Please ignore me now.
