So... I've been contacting several support communities the past couple of days to try to resolve the issue I'm having and I keep getting it's probably a hardware problem so I'll post here.

So far this has only occured when I play World of Warcraft. I just purchased a brand new machine through Ibuypower.com and it came to be through the mail and I will post the dxdiag info below. What happens is after anywhere from 1-2 hours of playing my monitor will suddenly go black and it'll come back as having "no signal" and the computer will either go to the choose a way to startup screen (safe mode, networking, normally, etc) or it just won't respond at all and I'll have to hold the power button to shut it down. I use CPUID HWMonitor to ensure temperatures aren't getting excessively high, and the highest I usually see is around 120F. I also use Who Crashed, but it's only been able to get a crash dump file once when this happened and it looks like this:

[FONT=Segoe UI, Arial]On Sat 11/12/2011 4:58:50 PM GMT your computer crashed
crash dump file: C:\Windows\Minidump\111211-14336-01.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: [FONT=Segoe UI, Arial]ntoskrnl.exe[/FONT] (nt+0x4B16CC)

This is likely to be caused by a hardware problem problem. This problem might be caused by a thermal issue.
The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver which cannot be identified at this time.

The dxdiag file is extremely large so I didn't want to copy&paste it all, but if anyone wants to see more info I can give it. I'm thinking it's my power supply which is a 600 W PSU but I honestly have no idea how to find out if that's enough to run my setup. Any help at all will be greatly appreciated.
