Angry Computer shuts down

Hi everyone

I am having a huge problem with my computer. When I log into World of Warcraft I might play anywhere between 5 to 20 mins then I freeze and my computer shuts its self off. I have updated drivers - scran for virsus - checked to be sure I had DirectX9.0c - turned of virsus protection and I can't figure it out. Anyone have a clue why this is happening

Default Computer shuts down

Sounds like an overheating problem to me. When was the last time you
checked all fans were working inside the PC and cleaned out the dust
bunnies.

================================
Could be overheating. Might be worth a try
to open the case and see if there is lots of
dust clogging it up and also be sure all your
fans are working.
