seems to be a problem that occurs only when im playing WoW, my computer turns itself off. need to unplug it and then plug it back in to restart it.
anyone have any idea whats up? :/
strange problem
Could be an overheating problem or just your PC telling you to play Camelot

If it's not overheating it could be your PSU not dishing out enough power possibly if you have a high end graphics card and a low watt PSU? Try unplugging any CD drives or spare hard drives (Not just the IDE/SATA cables - power cables too ofc ) for a while and see if it does it then, if it doesn't it's almost certain you'll need a higher end PSU.
If it's your graphics card or another component overheating it wont necessarily make the beeping sound, the beeping sound usually only occurs on components that are monitored by the motherboard which is generally the processor temperature and system temperature, it wont keep track of say, your graphics card temperature and if that fails it could cause a system reset without any warning or log of general system overheating.

I'd say the psu is the most likely cause. Buy a 400 watt one, spending nore than 30 quid on it, and i'm pretty sure that will do the trick.
