Hi guys,

I've had my computer for almost 2 years now. Suddenly yesterday, after playing WoW for 1 or 2 minutes, the screen flashes pink (appears to be a graphics failure), then the monitor enters power save mode. The only thing I can do is manually shut down the computer and restart. This happens every time I log into WoW now.

The strange thing is, I play CoD:MW and its fine, I then log onto WoW and it crashes. I have reinstalled the latest drivers, but the same thing happens.

EDIT: It just happened randomly, whilst word processing. I wasn't running any demanding applications, only MS Word and IE. Creating a backup of my dissertation now...

Any ideas whats causing this?

graphics card might be failing.

might want to try something like FurMark running in stability mode to test the gpu.
