My system is home built, I put it together fall of 2015 and have had few issues outside of a slow boot time until just a few days after World of Warcraft released the latest patch content (patch 7.2). Since then the game freezes and becomes unresponsive on logout/log off for between 30 seconds to 5 minutes or more. After 5 minutes the game simply disconnects me if I let it go that long.
I've taken to simply keeping task manager up so I can just force stop the WoW process whenever I want to change characters or quit the game because it's actually faster to force quit the game through task manager and restart it than it is to wait for it to log my character out manually.
Aside from that at the exact same time that issue showed up my Mozilla Firefox browser took to loading extremely slowly. I use Bing as my homepage and it takes at least 30 seconds to load. Even if I don't use Bing, any page I try to load takes as long.
All these issues completely disappear if I restart the system or shutdown and turn it back on. For the first few times I log off/logout of World of Warcraft it's instantaneous as it used to be before the patch, perhaps 5 times before it begins to slow down, and gets worse from there. Same with the browser issue.
I'm at a loss. It only seems to be graphics related (I think) so I keep thinking maybe it's my GPU, but I wonder if it could be my RAM, however, I experience no other problems anywhere else and the issue happened right after WoW's 7.2 patch came out which leads me to wonder if something they installed could have affected my performance that badly.
I'm getting pretty frustrated with this, if anyone has ideas about what could be causing this, or has a solution that would be great.
Thank you.
