Hi, my computer has been crashing in games, but not like a restart crash, like the screen turns into blue(or any colour really, but mainly blue) and grey square blocks the sound goes crazy and it holds on the screen for up to a minute before it restarts (although most times i get annoyed from waiting and restart myself) and if it restarts and goes straight into windows (without any 'cool off' i guess) it goes sqaure blocky at the logon screen too. If i can ill ty to take a photo of the screen it makes. I have no idea what it could be. I thought it was tempertures but they appear to be pretty stable. I could really use some help.

It mainly happens in games after a seeminly random amount of time (and i mainly only play WoW so i doubt its a heavy load on the system). Rarely occurs from non-game usage but ive seen it once or twice, notably when i was converting a dvd to SVCD.

I have

AMD64 3200
Gigabyte K8Triton Series Ga-K8U
BFG 6800GT 256MB AGP
Enertech 500watt
1gb corsair value select
maxtor 160gb
WD 160gb

Any advice would be much apperciated, Thanks in advance. :)

Im getting conflicting temps from MBM, Everest and the bios temps, MBM is listing cpu as 50c normal to 61 load (however MBM5 doesnt list my motherboard on its wizard list so i had to pick the sensors myself, and i guessed the highest temp was my CPU), bios is listing startup temp at 30c, and everest is listing cpu temp 29 normal 44 load.
