?? I could use some advice

[Chief1god]

I need some advice from someone about something thats been going on for a few days now... Ive done everything i can think of (delete wow and reload, run my anti spy/virus software, deleted my addons, change my graphics settings to the lowest, reset my router "both cable and network") but my problem is while in game my FPS bounces from high 30s and 40s to around 5. Ive even tried a system restore to June. My wife hasnt had any issues and her comp is right next to mine and my problems only happen while playing wow and its really about to drive me up a wall. can anyone think of anything that may help??

I was having that issue lately. I added more ram to my computer, free'd up space on my harddrive (Not sure if that helps at all), new graphics card and power supply, and i'm doing a little better. But for your issue i'm not sure. What are the specs of your computer?

Running Windows 7
AMD Athlon II x4 630 processor 2800 Mhz
6 GB RAM
Nividia GeForce 9500 GT 1 GB Ram

Any specific zone this happens in?

ProcessExplorer http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx

Run this while you run WoW to see what is using your CPU. This will show lots of hidden threads and programs which task manager doesn't show. If you see a spike switch over and see if you are running something.

What AV are you using?

Zone? which one doesnt it happen in.... lol... pretty much happens anywhere and anytime it wants to.

My advice is change your video settings. They were reset with the new patch. Set some things down and you'll be good.
