Hi,

I recently installed the win 7 upgrade to a vista pc and added a netgear
wireless-g router so my wife could access napster on her laptop. Everything
seems to run perfectly except that whenever I run WoW, the computer just
turns off within about 3 minutes. This happens everytime but at no other
time. Any ideas what I can look for?

Thanks and Regards,
Chip

Does it have a video card if so check the fan
also check your heat levels make sure your computer is dust free no build
up

I had my video card fan fail computer would run fine discovered when I was
playing call to arms computer would lock up and shut off

Good luck

Had the same problem with my desktop...took the advice of cleaning the
insides and vents of dust etc.. and it worked a treat..something to do with
temperature build-up.

This was exactly it. I vacuumed everything and it's worked perfectly for
hours now. Thank you so much!
