    Hmm, you mean to say the game is lagging, or your screen is freezing, and your fps drops to 0? Because if you lag in wow, you fps shouldnt drop, u just se ppl autorun in spot :p. If your fps just random drops, it has to be something else then the killer.

    why don't you flash back to the stock bios and see if that resolves your issue...or go to the A08 unlocked bios which most of the regulars here are using

    If it does it on crowded condition (ex. 10/25 man raid) it could be just lag from the server

    Did you plug in hardwired to see if that solved your lag issues?
