Hi,

I'm running XP currently, and I am NO computer expert :\

Lately, I've been getting a BSoD that says something about:

"A wait operation, attach process, or yield was attempted from a DPC
Routine."
"0x000000B8"
And finally something about "physical memory."

I get them after trying to join a online game on Warcraft III. I can
log onto Battle.net fine but whenever I try to join a game, I get the
BSoD.

Obviously, I thought it had to do with "DPC Routine" but after asking
around I never really got it fixed. Only thing was heard something about
drivers being the problem, but again I am no expert so I didn't want to
tamper with it that much. I havn't installed anything new that I
recall.

Please help me guys! My computer isn't that great but it has always
been able to run Warcraft III (It's about the only game I can handle
besides Starcraft.)

Thanks!
