Ok so over the last few days when playing WoW my comp crashes bad. First thing, the monitor goes blank, then the light on it says that it has no video connection to it (green to amber). I can still hear people on vent and music and such. After another 30 seconds all the audio garbles together and the system freezes. I've tried new video drivers...didn't work. Tried playing another game...same problem. Removed all the over clocks from my system and ran a virus scan...problem is still there. So whats wrong with my comp?

HELP!!! you know i need somebody. HELP!!! Not just anybody. HELP!!! you know i need someone....HELP!!

If you want useful help you need to post FULL spec, inc PSU make/model. Have you checked CPU and GPU temps? You could open the case and check that CPU and video card fans are running.

I thought the song and dance was quite enjoyable. I'm assuming you were dancing. Anyway, without knowing anything about your system, my first guess is that you need a newer music collection.
