Is that how you get loot from Noodlebutt's ass? Khane is way more motivated than I will ever be.

Just the fact that everybody of your class is using the same class hall at least will make it a more social experience than the fortress of solitude the wod garrisons are.

I take offense at this snide insinuation.
A proper shadowpriest dies in the middle of the fight, not before 3rd phase (or whatever).

Anyone else have a GTX 900 series nVidia card and have issues with black screens/crashes in WoW?
I've tried everything I can think of with my GTX 960 and it seems A LOT of people have the same issues I have. I've turned everything to low. Shut off all shadow and lighting effects, turned off anti-aliasing, used DDU to uninstall and do a clean manual install of the latest drivers, used DDU to uninstall and do a clean install of the 347.88 drivers (which people claim are the last stable released drivers for these cards), etc etc. Nothing is fixing it. It seems to happen most often when entering/leaving my garrison but does happen anywhere from time to time. I can't tell if it's a card issue or driver issue based on everything I've read on the internet.

I used to have something similar, usually on screen transitions, like leaving my garrison or a big one was the phase 1 to phase 2 transitions on Blackhand. Seemed like anything that required a rapid dump of old textures and loading of new ones. My screen would go black and after a few seconds my system would freeze with a weird buzzing sound from my sound card until i forced a reboot.
Fairly sure this was on my old build with a 580gtx though. I remembered reducing the amount of occurrences by tweaking the video settings as you have but I don't remember completely resolving it.
But if I were to guess it would be related to video card memory going south.

One thing to try which fixed some weird similar issues for me was pushing the game into full screen windowed mode. I normally do just full screen mode but lately my system started behaving strangely and I dropped all graphics to nothing and it still happened but I kicked it into full screen windowed mode and now I cranked graphics levels back up and so far so good even in ashran massive zerg shitfests.

When a problem like this happens I usually just reinstall drivers and WoW itself. Yes it is time consuming but almost always works.

Already did that, twice in fact. And even rolled back to what people were saying were a more stable version of the drivers. Used DDU to uninstall and used the clean installation option when doing it as well.
Just got off the phone with EVGA and they recommended going in and turning on debug mode. They said to do this because I have a super superclocked card and that doesn't play nice with Blizzard games, so turning on debug mode changes it to normal clock times? No idea but I'm gonna try it.

One other thing to try if the debug mode fails is maybe its time to schedule a disk scan before you turn the computer off tonight. It sounds odd but I have seen that fix a lot of black/blue screen bugs if there is some corrupted sectors impacting a game you are using.
