Sounds lika a RAM problem, does it say ok in the System Profiler?
Do you have 3rd party RAM?

Try a hardware test using the install disk

It shows that i have the right amount of RAM, but when i start WoW it crashs. Strange thing is that it does not crash when i first start WoW but if i use firefox, itunes then start WoW it crashs.

Nope but i will do that right away.

I suggest skipping using the Hardware tester that comes with AppleCare. It's very inconsistant, except in failure. By that I mean it consistantly checks and passes hardware that I know to be failed.

http://www.memtestosx.org is where you should go to get a decent memory tester.
Boot into Single User Mode, test the RAM with at least 2 contiguous passes.
