Here's my rig:
Windows 7 x64
Intel Core2 Duo E7300 2.66GHz
8 GB RAM
N460GTX Cyclone graphics card
Not sure on the HDD specs, but Windows scores it at a 5.8. Plenty of HD space available.

I have dual monitors. One (the 22' widescreen) has WoW playing in Windowed(Fullscreen) mode. The other (20' normal) has my work's version of remote desktop (kinda like a Tivoli program). Both are maxed in resolution.

Occasionally, my machine will, all of a sudden, reboot. It seems to happen when I'm in a crowded portion of WoW and I switch over to my work to do something.

I understand that I might be overloading something, but what is it? Shouldn't be the RAM or video card. Is it the processor? Internet -- seems like a stretch to reboot the machine (I have TWC)?

I would suspect a shitty power supply.

In addition to checking the PSU, I would monitor the temperatures of the CPU, GPU, and HDD. I would also say that running memtest wouldn't be a bad idea just to rule out RAM as a problem.
