Problem with Beta

Whenever I log onto beta, my game freezes. But, when I try and tab out, my computer goes black and I have to restart it. Anyone else have this problem? I tried it on other characters, and my game doesn't freeze. Is it because that I'm in Durotar, a place that has quite a bit of lag?
EDIT: I've decided to reinstall it, see if it works.
EDIT of an EDIT: Not one bit.
EDIT, the EDITING: I have a theory that this weird happening is because of the Sha of Anger reappearing. Either that, or some serious lag.
It's the Final EDIT!: There's a thread on Beta Technical Support going (http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/5969046990). Apparently it's happening to a lot of people on Lost Isles. Also, seeing as I cannot post anything on the WoW Forums anymore (Not going into that story), if you could, can someone please post for them to teleport my character? All you have to say is ''My friend is stuck in front of Org and needs to be teleported'' or something along the lines of that. My name is Muffinqt - Lost Isles. Thanks.

I'm crashing when I alt tab during flight paths.

I get a similar issue on live where if i'm alt tabbed during a flight path, I'll crash at the end of it if I don't tab back into the game before I land.

On beta, it just seems to crash a few moments after I alt tab no matter where I am in the FP's duration.

I've noticed something. When I log onto beta and I freeze, when I look at the map, the same people who were there HOURS ago are still there. So... I'm not alone.

I've had this problem before with games running in fullscreen, and it turned out to be the fan on my graphics card being clogged. So if you have this problem on other fullscreen games, you should check if it's the case.
I had to vacuum mine - it was that bad. lol
But once I did, all the games I usually couldn't play, worked with no problems. I also had the problem where my screen would turn black, and I could still hear sounds and stuff, but the only way to fix it was to restart manually.

I don't even know if it's is the same problem you have, but just wanted to let you know that it could be what is wrong, since it happned to me. :)

It's definitely not the same problem you had. All my other games are working just fine, so it's definitely not my graphics card being clogged.

I'm sorry I couldn't be of any help then.
Hope you get it fixed though. :)

I was having some real problems a few patches ago, and it turns out that it was due to 64-bit vs 32-bit client.

I would check the official forums for some tips on fixes. There might be some things you haven't tried yet.

I've put the thread that's about this problem in Beta Technical Support in my first post. If you'd like to check it out/help me out (You can read after it) then you can.
