LFR Crashing WoW

Hi all,
I have been having a problem with WoW crashing during LFR. That's the only time it crashes, mainly during Hagara, Ultraxion and Deathwing.
GM's seem to think it's an add-on problem. What could be causing this?

Set Graphics on "Good" or "Fair", the thing is that they can't be on High or Ultra, it can crash because of it spells.
Try it.

Or if you have a HORRID computer put it on "Poor." It will suck for you but you can see well enough to do the fights and it's way WAY easier on your computer.

Um, my computer is pretty kick ass.
Dell 24" 1900x1200
i7 960 2.6GHz, OC to 3.2GHz
6Gb DDR3 @ 1600
Radeon HD 5870
WD Raptor 10k RPM HDD
I set graphics to Lowest setting, then bump Particle Density to Good and View Distance to good. Still crashes during LFR, and only during LFR.
For 5-man Heroics I can run at Ultra settings with no problem, and stay above 30 FPS.

5mans only have 5 people, though. Do you run normal 25man raids? I suspect it would happen there, too.

No, I can't even do Normal 10-man raids. I have a wife and 2 small children that take up my evening time. The only time I can get on is early (4am) before work or during the day if I get home early. No one raids during the day =(

The best reason not to raid :)
I suggest disabling some addons at a time and then try those bosses you had problems on again, while the GM reply was a standard one, it could be true. With an addon like
ACP
you can save your current setup easily, to restore it afterwards (ACP itself doesn't need to be enabled during testing either)
Start with those addons that show up as memory hogs when you hover the Game Menu button, and after that other large addons. Disable them in groups until the problem disappears, then try individual addons. Admittedly, that can take a while, but it helps to switch addons between bosses.

I found on my older computer (3 years old), it was a simple solution of me turning off add-ons. Specifically damage meters (they will EAT your fps).
Next time, try lowering your variables, and turning off add-ons you don't need for the raid.

Oh yes, especially damage meters and other stuff that scans your combat log regularily.

I had already killed Omen, no need for threat any more. Will have to try disabling Recount.

I am an Electronics Technician in the Navy and am very computer savvy. I tried disabling Recount during LFR today and it still crashed.
