Oh okay, thanks for the info. I did run Prime95 last night when I
went to sleep, after 10 hours it was still going with no errors, so I
suppose the CPU is pretty solid. I don't think cpu temps are an issue
at all, with the zalman's and arctic silver 5, it has been solid temp
wise. I guess I will look further into the video card and see if I
can get it running cooler to check for a difference. It is possible
that it's the game, as with the latest patch there have been numerous
complaints, but that seems to happen with every new patch release.
They have not acknowledged a known issue tho, and most people are
having no trouble. With a system like mine, I don't expect it to have
trouble in something like World of Warcraft. I will look into testing
my video card and seeing what I can find. I really hope if it is the
issue, its only temp, and not some kind of damage to it :[
