Computer crashed during playing

[Hegrometh 3]

Last night, my computer crashed during playing. When it crashed, the monitor froze and I couldn't do anything. Pressing windows button didn't work, alt+f4 didn't work and ctrl+alt+delete didn't work. After a soft reset, my operating system (neither Windows 7 nor Ubuntu) couldn't boot. So I had to unplug the power cord and plug it back again and only after that it booted successfully. I tried playing again and same thing happened, this time even faster so I had to umplug and plug back in again. Third time after trying to play, WoW crashed in about 10 seconds. Had to unplug and plug all over again so I could boot my system. Any idea what that might be? Outside of WoW everything seems to be fine and no crashes occured.

Windows should have logfiles for crashes like this.

It sounds like a PSU overdraw issue, which could be triggered by your video card.

Can you try to connect another GPU to make a test? if no froze, that's could be the problem.

This happens to me constantly. This is the only way to get the true tryhard, I mean hardcore Vanilla WoW experience.
