Overheating

What can you do to stop the computer from overheating when i am playing GW

My friend had this problem, though not on GW. We moved his computer as it was boxed in with nowhere for the heat to escape except.. past a radiator ^^
Just move it somewhere more open, and consider cleaning out the fan.

Well it took a lot of rewiring to move, but the thing stopped crashing completely afterwards, might be worth a weekend project?

That may help some, depending on what the cause of your overheating is.

Stick some fans in/on your case that will be pulling cool air from your room INSIDE the case.

it could also be that you have no fans at all and just some heatsinks which spread heat and have nowhere to go. thats what i found in a google search.
