    Ive got an Acer Aspire 5630 and I know the graphic card isn't very good and causes my laptop to reset while playing games like WoW.
    Is it possible to get a new, better graphic card for this laptop?
    And if so, which one?
    Thanks

    Do you mean restarting?
    Have you done a driver update?
    Bios Update?
    Clean up the Windows?
