      Hmmm.....Strange....

      If you go to Device Manager, are there any Yellow Question or Exclamation marks?

      Also, what is the model of this computer?

          It sounds like it could be an issue with overheating,

              Does it only happen when you are playing WOW?

              You might try uninstalling and then reinstalling it.

                I was curious about this:

                Quote
                    Motherboard:
                      CPU Type                                          Intel Pentium III Xeon, 3000 MHz (7 x 429)
                      Motherboard Name                                  Unknown
                      Motherboard Chipset                               Unknown
                      System Memory                                     3328 MB
                      BIOS Type                                         AMI (11/04/08)
                      Communication Port                                Communications Port (COM1)

                Is this a laptop or desktop computer?
                Can you go to the computer's manufacturers website and look for motherboard chipset drivers.
