was playing WoW earlier today and everything was working just fine. i shut my computer down and left for about 4 hours. when i came back and tried to log on i had 9 fps? i normally have 65+ not really sure why. ive tried disabling addons like ive seen in other places so it must be something with my computer?

Try another game and see if the fps there is normal. If it is maybe you have to unlock the fps in WoW. Go to your WoW folder and make a shortcut of WoW.exe to your desktop. Go to properties in that shortcut. Go to target and only change the last bit of it. So leave the whole and type in the end -console. So the whole thing as it already is then space and then -console. Start WoW from there and click ~ and the console appears. Typ in maxfps 0 and if that doesn't work typ in maxfps 60 and if that doesn't work reinstall WoW.

I'm glad it worked. Just change it to what you want it to be the max for example if you want 60 fps to be max just do max fps 60. Good luck :)
