    Comp freezes while gaming

    Hi! My computer has always worked just fine. But one day it just started freezing while I play games. The temps under load seems to be perfectly fine, CPU never exceding 38C and GPU never exceding 76. I have just cleaned the case so there is no dust in it. What happens is that I play WoW for a...
