WoW Crashed right before Dragonblight cutscene

[Kaltes]

Hey guys,

I'm trying to figure out why my WoW would have crashed right before the Dragonblight cutscene. I didn't get a chance to read the error message, and am attempting to locate where that may be specifically so I can provide more information. I think it may have crashed due to a sound issue, as I see in my SESound.log file around that time that there is a notice WOW requires at least 12 hardware channels to function properly in hardware mode, so it switched itself to Software mode and was requiring 64 channels. Here are my system specs:

Intel C2D E8400 @ 3.6GHz
Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3R
Sound: Onboard Realtek High Definition Audio
Video: EVGA Geforce GTX-260 216core OC
Memory: 2x2gb DDR2-1000
OS: Windows Vista Business x64

My computer itself does not crash, there are no temperature issues what so ever as well. I have been poking around the logs in the logs folder for WoW and do not see anything specifically relevant to crash information, so I could be looking at the wrong stuff. Can someone steer me into the right direction as to what happened?

Note: I was able to revisit the big dragon and watch the cut scene, so it is at least able to play.

Does it crash everytime you watch the cut scene or was it just a coincidence? I get an occassional crash when I turn to the right in the Dalaran bank (I'm serious). It happens maybe once a fortnight but the amount of time I would likely spend tracking down the cause would be more than the cumulative time it takes to reload WoW.

What I'm trying to say is that sometimes PC's crash and it's not worth the time to figure out.

It only crashed when I got both the acheivement for the gate, and then it went to turn into the cutscene, so maybe it was the sound effects of the achievement plus the scene? I was able to talk to the dragon afterwards and watch the scene w/o it crashing. Unfortunately I won't be able to re-create the problem since the achievement procced at the same time.

my computer stutters a bit (pauses, delays, etc) for maybe a fraction of a second whenever i get an achievement. this happens often and i dont know if it will one day cause my wow to crash. its not like a leveling ding. maybe its the reading from the harddrive and something went haywire.
