Next time it freezes, reboot and enter the bios. Check the temperature it could be overheating.

Is it only games that the computer freezes?
as Macfarlan pointed out, it could be a heat issue.
It could also be a video card issue. While I believe your card should handle warcraft, it may be a problem with the card itself.

I had the same exact problem with a laptop. I thought it was overheating. To make a long story short, it was the RAM Sockets that hold the RAM in place. Put the RAM in a different slot than what it is now and see if the blue screens still persist.
