This is happening every time I'm playing WoW and in the middle the the screen gets lines like this, first time it happened it had pink and with white lines, and two days ago it happened it had white/gray lines and it happened again today with orange/black lines.
I tried searching but the only answer I could find was that graphic drivers are out of date, I updated my graphic drivers two days ago when this happened but it is still happening. I had to power off my computer holding down the power button and when I started it I checked the temperatures.

I attached temperatures readings.
The picture is really big so here is the url:

specs in my sig
 
Video card could be overheating. You didn't check that temp, just cpu temp.
Try running with the side of the case off, but also run gpu-z and see what the temps are like after say 1 or 2 minutes into the game. Just exit the game and check. make sure you check the box in gpu-z to keep recording temps even when it's in the background
 
You can try MSI Afterburner as well. If it is overheating, you can up the fan speed on the GPU.
 
Yeah sounds like a video card problem, those temps on the CPU are pretty much perfect for an AMD chip.

Is that an onboard GPU in your sig?
 
I ran GPU-Z here are the temps:

no it's not an onboard card. are the temps too high?
 
What's the specs of your PC?

Also:
[Testing the GPU]
Use Furmark, OCCT, or ATI Tool to stress test the GPU. If you see any artifacts or any other graphical glitches, the GPU could be overheating, too overclocked, or faulty.
 
65 degrees seems a little high for a GPU just idling, I don't even like my 260's getting close to that range under load.

Yeah find out what temp range they hit under a load from a game, might just need a clean or something more serious is happening.
