Mysterious crash..

[Deleted]

Hi there, my computer crashes sometimes when playing diablo 3, I'm looking for someone that might have an idea why.

So today I experienced crashes both in WoW and Diablo, in WoW I got blue screen of death when I randomly flew in the nether.

In Diablo the crashes gave me instant black screen, and my computer turned off. The crashes always happened when in combat.

So, obviously something is stressed out and causes my computer to crash when playing online games. The mystery is what it could be, my drivers are up to date and my computer should be capable of playing boths games at maxed out graphics. CPU TYPE:
AMD Phenom(tm) 8650 Triple-Core Processor
CPU SPEED:
2.32 GHz
SYSTEM MEMORY:
3 GB
VIDEO CARD MODEL:
NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX

So, what is the most common cause of this problem? and how do I check whether anything in my computer is damaged? I'm asking this because my computer knowledge is that of a newb. Thank you for your help.

Overheating, dying PSU, dying GPU. Run OCCT tests, check temperatures.
