So I brought my account back up and patched and what not, and blue screened my comp twice playing lol..

I log in, it runs fine, then about 20-30 seconds in the entire screen glitches and it crashes to blue screen, I am guessing that my vid card is toast because my comp runs fine any other time..

But what is also weird is that it will run Counter Strike or Day of Defeat fine.. maybe it is an over heating problem?

Computer is getting old, I think its about 3 1/2 years old now.. specs:

Core 2 6700 @ 2.66 GHZ
2 Gigs ram
Geforce 8600 GTS

Running windows vista *shutter*

I have a back up drive with XP on it, maybe I should try running it on there and see what happens..
