Default pc freezing when playing WoW

Ok, my pc somehow got it in its head to jsut freeze randomly while playing this game. I've reinstalled the game already, reinstalled the video card drivers. I even had prime95 running for 7 hours to see if the cpu way maybe overheating. (it didnt overheat) but neither of this seems to have solved the problem.

the funny (well,.. more annoying than funny) thing is, soemtimes it works fine for 2 hours or so, and sometimes it decides to freeze after jsut a few minutes. :|

with freeze I mean, the screen freezes, and the sound goes into a high pitched beep. nothing is responding except the power/reset button.

any ideas on what it could be? for some reason it only happened on WoW yet. rainbow six vegas, Bioshock, CoD4 demo, IL2 1946, SH3 and 4 all seem to run fine, and they never froze so far.
