Okay, i've been troubleshooting this issue for a while, here it is:
 
While I have been playing World of Warcraft for about 1-2 hours the game will lock up for a second, go to a blank screen (Sometimes a pinkish artifact screen, but not every time) and show no video to my monitor from the PC. If I responded quick enough with Alt-tabbing out of WoW, it will show the video drivers failed and recovered. It will let me go back into the game for maybe 10-15 seconds and it will do it again if I try to pan around with my character. If I don't alt-tab out of the game within the first 5 seconds of it, it will completely lock up my computer and sometimes the speakers will stay in a sound loop.
 
Things i've attempted:
Different drivers (306.23, 306.97, 310.7, 310.9, and 314.07.)
Different Hard Drives: I've installed Windows 7 on my SSD and HDD (Never both at the same time, always seperate.)
Checked temps when issue is currently in effect, temps never exceeded 62C.
Turned down graphics, ran windowed and non-windowed mode... no effect, the lock-up happens no matter what.
Removed all overclocks made.
 
This only happens with WoW, never on my other games like SC II or Call of Duty: Black Ops II... After the reformat, the only game installed was WoW. It took longer than usual to start acting up, but it's back and getting worse. Has anyone else had this issue as well? I'm not really sure what is left for me to attempt.

    Yeah. Small voltage bump is usually whats needed. Some games used to do this to me as well. Far Cry 3 did it. Then Battlefield did it. I just....keep bumping that voltage. lol. Now its maxed out on the slider and i never crash.
     
    Unless my SSD decides to BSOD...which is all the time.
