2 minutes after loading the game, World of Tanks, I get a green lightshow on the monitor, funny noises out of the case, and then it crashes and reboots itself. Has anyone else seen this before? I run a EVGA GTX Geforce 550 TI, an Intel Core i5-3450S Ivy Bridge Quad-Core 2.8GHz (3.5GHz Turbo), ONLY 1 stick of Team XTreem 4GB memory, ASUS P8B75-V LGA 1155 Intel B75 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard, and i don't remember the exact hard drive brand but its 250 GB. I only run 1 stick because the other one failed to work about 2 months after i bought it, I've had this computer for almost 2 years.

Thanks in advance

I'd check if some part is overheating. Could be the cpu or gpu (most likely gpu) overheating and shutting down. You can use GPU-z or other free software to monitor temperature.

If you have pagefile.sys you should not encounter crashes because of memory saturation, but things might get really really slow.

I've had a similar problem with my gpu overheating, the green lightshow and/or artifacts. I thought my card was going bad, but it was just bad airflow in my case.
