    I have a Lenovo y-470 thought Id get A quicker response here than in the lenovo forum. So Im running Last years Nvidia drivers as the latest ones make World of Warcraft freeze completely randomly.

    Well im getting issues with it freezing in seconds at a time. Like 1 sec its 160fps then the next its 15 to 30 and it freezes. Here is a video


    What could be happening?
    Its not over heating Temps are the same as usual

    I don't play WoW, but I created a shaman cow and ran around a bit, didn't experience any lags. Are you playing on battery or plugged in?
