Why exactly is my computer blue screening when I play WoW?
Sort of a multi-question post here...
I really don't know what is really wrong with the computer I use to play World of Warcraft on, but it loves to blue screen at the worst possible times and does it at least twice every day (when I play WoW.) Most of the time it does it when I'm in the middle of a raid, but sometimes it just does it when I'm standing around in a city (mainly Dalaran.)
I think it might be either the GFX Card or a heating/cooling problem, but I'm unsure. Also how do I make the fans run faster? I did it once but I forgot.
And also how do I make it so the computer stays powered on when it blue screens? I want to see about writing down the error it gives.
Oh I forgot the computer details...

To verify overheating issue of graphics card download and install GPUZ;

Run GPUZ before you play WoW. Open sensors tab so that monitoring ord starts. Play WoW for about an hour then press Windows button on keyboard. WoW will minimize and GPUZ monitor will show up.
You could try Speedfan or Rivatuner so that you can set the card's fan to 100% if room ambient temp is high and monitors are indicating high temp. Also consider improving PC case ventilation.

i might verify the temps on the two the CPU and GPU sounds like it overheating. Do you have solid case followers? a minimum of an component door fastened fan blowing rapidly on the video card?...i've got had Hanns-G visual reveal unit instruments..basically somewhat crap..3 of them died in under a 12 months, they began out to die with humorous hues, then undesirable pixel's, then horizontal strains that have been given wider over the years then nuttin!
