I built a new rig last weekend, I've over clocked the CPU and GPU and its been running fine until yesterday when i experienced a huge drop in fps on WoW.
I was running it at ultra settings and getting around 70-80fps in most areas, now I'm getting 30-40fps on low settings.
I hadn't touched any of the OC settings in afterburner and had them at: voltage 1.012V, 875 core clock and 1950 memory clock which isn't even that great of an OC.
I've tried rolling back the drivers, updating them, other OC software but nothing is working and I'm out of ideas, so what's caused this problem ?

First off, take it back to stock clock settings. Also give us a list of your build. I would suggest that your PSU doesn't have the power to push it if your OCing a lot. But let us know your entire build.

As far as something to try, like I said put it back at stock settings. Don't use OCing software, just use your BIOS to do it, but play a day or two at stock settings... then move up 5% for a day or two, then another 3-5% for a day or two, until you get to a point where it is unstable.
