I'm a World of Warcraft addict.. but World of Warcraft is down for maintence, so I decided to pop out Warcraft 3. I've played WC3 before fine, and WoW just last night with no problems.. but when I loaded up W3 just now, I got a bunch of black lines that where flashing/moving across my screen..

If they stayed still, I could handle it, but it's going all across my screen and blinking, and it gives me a headache to stare at them.. anyone know the problem?

If they help, here's my specs.. and I know my graphics card sucks.

It's most likely your graphics card overheating or your PSU from what I'm seeing, But then again I could be wrong.

To little detail to go on.
