I'm not using any mods for WoW and sometimes I can play for a couple hours before it reboots. Other time it's a few minutes. I've had it lock up twice on me over the passed week. AVG and Spybot aren't finding anything. I also have to unplug the router to get it to work again after the reboot. Usually there will be an message stating "Windows has recovered from a serious error." after the reboot.


Any ideas?
 
Could be over heating (vid card or CPU or motherboard - check for failing fans)
Could be failing vid card
Could be RAM errors (run memtest to test it)

The varying times between restarts kinda-sorta suggests over heating to me, but I am not a very experienced trouble shooter.
