This is a sudden occurrence that began only today when i noticed my FPS in game was down to 10-20 instead of 80+. When i start up my computer and look at my CPU in task manager, it is at a normal speed, but literally the instant that i start World of Warcraft it drops significantly, and the only thing that restores the speed is shutting the computer down. I just built this rig 3 months ago and here are the specs: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/NkzYQ7

Is there something that I can try to fix this problem?

Figured it out.... last night I left my computer running so I turned it on power-saving mode. Apparently that kills the CPU if loading anything like WoW.
