    Recently my computer has been having problems while running World of Warcraft. Everything else is running perfectly fine, as well as multi-tasking with programs such as LimeWire, Windows Media Player, AOL Instant Messenger, and so on..

    In a matter of minutes, the monitor image gets very shakey and the computer just turns off on me.

    My Computer Specs:

    AMD Athlon 64 [3000+]
    2.01 GHz, 1 GB of RAM
    Windows XP Home Edition (SP2)
    Envision 17'' LCD
    420W PSU
    150GB Hard Drive

    I've had this computer for about 1 year, and this problem started happening about 2 weeks ago. Please help as soon as possible, thanks.

    - Loren

    EDIT: Just realising, the computer stays "on" but the monitor shuts off and there's no getting it back on without restarting the computer.
