Sounds like your computer is overheating, or there's something corrupted on your computer.

 

Are you running Mac, or PC?

yea sounds like your computer is over heating or your ram is not strong enough to run wow on your computer so its shutting it self off to help your computer from messing up

Your computer can crash based on certain things.

1. Your Computer's CPU is over-heating meaning that it can't handle running the game you want to play.
2. You do not have enough RAM to play the game.

 

The only way to fix issue 1 is to buy a new computer. To fix issue 2, you would have to open up your tower (or laptop if you are using one instead) and put in new RAM that you will have to buy from a store that has them.

An overheating processor will indeed mean that either your processor itself isn't good enough, (in an amount of GHz,).

 

Like said, RAM may be an issue as well, though not enough RAM for a game won't make your computer reboot, unless it's overheating your computer. Follow these simple steps so I can diagnose your problem, here. :)

 

1. Either go to Start>Run, or press the "home", and "r" keys at the same time.

2. In the "Run" tab, type "DxDiag".

3. In a couple of seconds a box will open up, and load some things. At the bottom of that page, you'll see, "Save All Information", or similar.

4. Click that, and it will begin a save process, and it'll tell you where you'd like you to save it. Preferably save it on your desktop as DxDiag.

5. Either upload the file as a .txt document on this forum topic, or simply copy and paste the text into the post.
