Are there any error messages, if there are, please post the exact text of them.
What is the reading of the power button bi-colour LED, Steady Amber, Blinking Amber?
Are there any 'Beeps', if there are, check the 'Beep' codes in the following link?
Have you made any changes to the Inspiron 530s recently?

This is weird. WOW is not a kind of intense game to have such problem. Do you play other games aside from this one? It is possible that your computer was already in heat and then played WOW afterwards which causes the problem.
