I have the same problem 9 times out of ten
press your windows key then close from there

Mine started doing it occasionally after installing Cosmos.

This happened when I was playing a month and a half ago, I don't think patch
1.40 was out at that time, but came out soon after.

I've reformatted since then and installed WoW again, downloaded the 1.40
patch and installed, then started up and got the other two from ingame,
since then I've never had it freeze when I've quit so far, I've only played
a week but have exited the game a fair few times.

Don't know if thats just luck or a fix of sorts but you could try it. (In
short, try not installing any patch before 1.40!)

Also now I'm not overclocking my CPU at all, and I may have been when I was
playing before.

Also now I'm playing with the default video card settings except 1280x1024,
before I had most stuff up quite high, and checked or unchecked some tick
boxes. I can't really see any difference and getting 60fps most of the
time. (GeForce 6600GT)

Got the same problem, and I know a lotta others got it too. It's not
related to any specific hardware.

I can even experience it when disconnecting from the server or switching
char.

Ie. it's a BUG and Blizzard is to blame.

Bugs rarely affect every user. In other words, just because you don't
see it doesn't mean it's not a problem.

Because - as has been mentioned - it's hitting a lot of people with a lot of
different systems.

Try this. Remove all your addon mods and see if it happens, if it does I
would try reinstalling the game and testing it. If it works after game
reinstall add a mod and test, eventually you may find the one that is the
issue. If it just does not work try another PC to test it on. I have yet
to experience this issue, so it kind of lets me to believe it may be
something else on your PC that is causing it to crash.

Just playing Devil's Advocate at this point, given that I don't really care,
but why are YOU so adimant to nail him? What makes you so certain that it's
a system fault and not another mark on Blizzard's long list of bugs, which
even THEY admit is a pretty long list?

I love the game. I do. I think Blizzard's a fine company, and all that. But
given the number of people that have reported the bug and the system specs
they've quoted, you'd think that some sharp computer-savvy person out
there - and, let's face it, those quotes are on a MMORPG forum, where
computer-savvy people abound - would have picked up on a common thread.

Mmm, devil's advocate...

Yeah, it's all the fault of Intel, AMD, ATi, Dell, Alienware, Falcon
