    LOL.

    Try to do some burn-in tests and benchmarks.

    If it continues, try updating the drivers.

    Reinstall drivers and uninstall WOW :D


    Do you only get this error msg when playing WOW or other games, too.
    Also, what are your temps? Sounds like something that could also be temperature related.
    Are you doing any overclocking?

    leave it to WoW to louse things up.

    Look for fixes from the WoW forums, or did you try new drivers?

    Look forward to move onto the next big thing... backed by Nvidia this summer.

    It means you should start playing LOTRO instead.
