What programs does it crash on? How does it crash; BSOD? What are your temperatures? Show us a screenshot of HWMonitor.

IIRC, WOW plays fine at 2GB RAM.

Some times it crashes on skype, and wow runs REALLY slow, and ends up crashing

I dont get BSOD just, crashes

I think that Intel HD graphics is hitting you in WoW.

Are you running 7 x64?

 

[TheHumanComputer]

Yes, its 64x bit

 

[MindoverMaster]

Well, that graphic card is integrated, so when in use, it steals your RAM. So when you play WoW, you are no longer playing with full 2GB.

4GB might help you, but it might be still slow due to your low graphics card.

 

[TheHumanComputer]

Why would it run slow, my old notebook runs wow fine, but has graphic problems, and its even more rubbish then this lol

 

[MindoverMaster]

Does youe old notebook have Intel integrated graphics, too?
