gtx 560 ti crashing when I play WOW. Why?

I have a new build i did myself.... P8Z68 ASUS MB, 2600K i7 Intel CPU, 16GB Corsair RAM, 2x GTX 560 TI GPUS in SLI, and 850 W Corsair PSU.... This system is FAST!! but for some reason my whole computer crashes randomly when I play WOW (and once during Starcraft) .... what could be the problem.... I've contemplated it being heat related.... My sensors are showing around 50-60C when the game is running and I have Liquid Cooling to the CPU at 24C.... the GPUs Idle around 37... the MB is at 34C.... I don't think it is heat related but IDK.... When it crashes it usually makes a stutter noise and the fans start turning a lot faster. That's the situation. Any suggestions as to what might be going wrong here.

Update:

I've had this problem both while rinning single card and in SLI

    Most likely because you're running SLi.

    Usually everything that requires some use of your graphics card is more stable when you use one card.
