I play WoW for an hour

I play WoW for an hour and then my screen goes black an says something i dont remember, and then the computer stays on for a few seconds an restarts an its all good i dunno if its over heating or what..

its a raedon x1650 256 ddr3 i havnt tried updateing drivers or not i don't think its gonna help it cause i personally think its a problem with the card itself

Sounds like a graphics card error, ummm whats your psu watts?

 

[Zilliak]

but you might just want to upgrade to a new video card go to new egg and get a cheep one lol

Does it do this with any other video games, or while you're running the computer without a load?

It is probably the card, but updating the drivers can work miracles.

Welll it was only on WoW that i found... but my onboard what im usein right now is a Nvidia 7100 256... it Cant even run Counterstrike at 50fps.... its getting annoying, and the raedon is over heating i checked the temp it was at 80C when i checked in on WoW but when im jus doin stuff on the computer it fluxuates from 70-76

Have you tried blowing out any dust accumulation in the graphics card? I mean removing it and blowing it out.

In case you're interested, Newegg does have a Canadian website now: http://www.newegg.ca/

I had the exact same issue. Its either a RAM issue, or graphics card issue, most likely ram, just expand your ram. Its not very expensive (around 25-50 bucks per stick) and easy to install. Go for around 2 gigs of ram for WOW.
