if you consider wow to be graphics intensive on your pc...stop multitasking your pc because its only going to cause problems.

next time it blue screens write down the error code.

After it blue screened, I turned it back on (After waiting a minute) and it's been running fine ever since... First time it's actually blue screened on me actually... And the second before it blue screened... I was alt-tabbing out of a game to check up on my FB...

(The game was fairly graphic intensive, comparable to WoW graphics) Other than that though... I had d2jsp and FB up...

/e OH, and I was Skyping with a friend. (Almost forgot)

Was probably the GPU then (if you have an onboard graphics card, anyway) Either way it seems like you're fine now. It just seems like you might need to only play that game and not have any other programs running at the same time.

If you have a laptop, it might be a decent idea to have one of those small desk fans pointed at your laptop to carry heat away while you're playing that game. Either that or get a laptop cooling pad.

also, if laptop is older, could try cleaning out the fan area. did that earlier this year b/c mine kept overheating. just removed bottom panel and blew compressed air in the fan section.
