Hello there,
I am making this post because I am having troubles while playing WoW on my self-made gaming desktop.
I am running into several FPS drops out of nowhere and sudden shutdowns of the game while regularly playing.
I was hoping on your help because I was told this video card would be able to pull off the game in ultra settings and it barely manages low settings.
My specs are:
Motherboard: asus m4a88t-m/usb3
Processor: AMD Athlon II X4 640
Graphics: Radeon HD 6870 HD sapphire
RAM: 2x 4 GB Vengeance DDR3
Power supply: MOD-X_stream-pro 500W (from OCZ)

I can't place my finger on where it is going wrong please help.
p.s. im running windows 8 as OS.

HWQL does not ring a bell for me...
But I am checking my graphics temps alot and they seem fine I increased my fanspeed to 65% manually and am running stable around 42 degrees C on my graphics
