hi i think ive made a topic about this before awhile back but it was fine for a good time and now its back.
Origonally my computer was randomly rebooting itself while playing world of warcraft, doing anything else would run fine. I figured it was a power supply problem causing a short out when the game is using more demand on the video card so i took it into a shop and they held onto it for two weeks and baisically did nothing and gave me a new power source.
after i got it back the computer started doing it more requently, however if i layed the case on its side then it had no issues with maintaining power. it only and still randomly shuts down when standing upright.
for awhile this worked and i decided not to fix it. i had to buy a new audio card casue the short outs and restarting blew the audio card...but untill recently everything else works fine.
starting two or three days ago my video freezes while playing and computer locks up however audio still works and the keyboard is still responcive to buttons (numlock light turns on when pushed and exctera) and i have to reboot to get out of the system freeze.
now within the past day im getting visual distortion.
theres a few links of the types of distortion i get in game and out of game. on black screen it has a blue distortion and on white it turns yellow.
the video card is getting overheated..majorly.
so heres what i need to find out i guess. is this rebooting and following problems all caused by drivers, the graphics card, lack of memory or the a faulty power supply that they screwed me over with?

warcraft 2
warcraft 3
