So I built my pc a while back(2 years). been working great, cleaned regularly.
All of a sudden whilst playing WoW, the screen went Blue (not bsod) with little black and white dashes across it.
I tried uninstalling/reinstalling drivers.
Ran a gfx/hdd/cpu and ram test. All passed
Reinstalled win 7.
uninstalled win 7 and installed win 8
Let win find drivers. And remove those and installed older and newer from AMD website.
So within about 5-10 mins of gameplay it happens, doesn't matter what settings I set or char/location etc.
doesn't happen when not doing anything that requires a graphical load. just in games..
I've run out of ideas..

Spec of pc & temps just after crash happens:-
Operating System -Windows 8 Pro 64-bit
CPU-AMD Phenom II X4 905 33 °C
RAM-Ripjaws 16.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 573MHz (7-7-7-20)
