Ok so basicly when im playing WoW there is no problem what so ever then all the sudden the Game freezes! I can still hear the game's music and when i move the mouse around i can still see it but its froze! i was having this problem with older video drivers so i decided to update but it didnt help at all.

It's probably the graphic card over heating.

56C isn't bad at all. That isn't your problem.

What did you do to get it up to 56?

Not even close to hot, if 56c is as high as it gets, your graphics card is definitely not overheating. Is your processor overclocked at all?

LOL Wrong. This is a 7 Seeries card running on a 90nm core once the higher end 7 seeries cards hit like 65c they freeze what i have is a low-med end 7 series card with a pos Heatsink/fan and hitting 55-60c will couse it to freeze. the only thing i dont get is why is it getting so hot on stock clocks and if it really is the card causeing my problem.
