Default What is this?

Every so often, while playing WoW, like.. once every 4 or 5 days it seems, out of no where, turns my screen into this,



I thought it may be overheating.. I only have 2 things being temp monitored, my case and my CPU, which were both at only 35c and usualy are always at 35c when playing.

Maybe graphics card overheating?

If so, I dont see how.. 8 fans 1 blowing right on my card and my room temp isnt very high its like 64.

Default Heya

Well,

to me it seems that indeed the graphics card is overheating. Download something like Rivatuner and monitor the temps. If that is not the problem, I would make sure that you update the drivers.
