Hey guys while raiding in ZG my xps suddenly rebooted. It has never happend before in WoW, and the reboot happened after three hours of gaming.

It reboots in CS:Source too, so do you think it's the video card's problem?

I checked the temperature when it rebooted and the GPU was 66 degrees.

-Thanks

I have the same problem and it only occurs with WoW. You can be playing for 5 minutes or 5 hours and the system will just randomly reboot. It doesn't happen often, at most once or twice a day, sometimes not for several days. Again, I've only noticed this on WoW and no other games. I have tried updating the drivers and it still happens even with several different versions of video drivers. The system is not overheating and I always use a cooling pad underneath. The system always remains plugged in and I am using the 6800go video card.

Do your reboots come with a Blue Screen of Death (BSoD)? or just instant black as if someone pulled the plug out of the computer.

Mine is just instant black.

I used to get reboots and BSOD's in Mulgore, and reboots in Stranglethorn Vale (it got so bad I couldn't play the southern part of that zone). I had Dell replace my 6800 Ultra Go, and I haven't had any problems since.
