computer broken, video woes

[Vykromond]

looks like world of warcraft and my video card teamed up to kill my computer. i can't run games (including subspace), the screen freezes every few seconds, and after it freezes my monitor gives a huge flicker. i have the latest nvidia drivers for my video card. i don't know what to do

Did you leave WoW on for excessively long periods of time?

Did you leave WoW on for excessively long periods of time?

how long is 'excessively long'? And what will happen? O_o;

no, nockm, i didn't, but i suspect you have the right idea. it works for the moment, i think i might have overheated my video card. poor thing.

check if the video card fan is still spinning
