If I try to log in to the game with a character and the game hasn't finished streaming after an update, something in my computer starts making a clicking noise (i think its my HDD) and my computer just shuts off. No BSoD, no errors, it just turns off. Is it just a bum HD? I bought it fairly cheap (like $80for 250gig). Please help me.

Ok, so it happened again when I used -Image and when I rebooted I found the problem. My CPU was running at 68*C!! Im currently imaging GW as I type and so far cpu useage hasn't been a problem.

What I don't understand is how just downloading could possibly get my CPU that hot. Even when I run TES IV:Oblivion (one of the most graphicaly intense games ATM) its not that hot.

OK, ive fixed the problem. My processor fan was absolutely clogged with dust. I had to scrape the dust off with a small screwdriver, then vacuum it out. it was so tightly packed, not even my can of air could blow it out. Now my comp is running fine when I play.
