Hello I've been playing World of Warcraft but when ever I would enter an area that required alot of rendering, my PC would freeze for 1-2 minutes. Sometimes for longer and id have no other option but to force shutdown by the power button.

This lead me to believe that it was my GPU, so I bought a new one. (HD 6670.) This worked fine for 2-3 weeks until yesterday(27/11/16.) it froze entirely so I force shut down but this time the only option is to "Launch windows repair" instead of giving me the option to select onw of my 2 HDD's.

I've checked my motherboard for bulging / leaky capacitors but to no avail. I've removed most of the dust from the surface of my motherboard but this has also had no effect.

My PC does come on after a while of being off and unplugged. I used to have a problem with overheating so to fix this I've had to point a desk fan into the PC with the side off of the case.this has worked for 2years and stil does (Thought I'd mention this anyway incase its a factor of my PC breaking down

Please answer this ASAP as I need my PC for school work.
