I have recently started having an issue with my world of warcraft, Im not 100% if it is the game or down to hardware.

Im 50/50 with it.

When i load up my computer, everything loads rather nice, and quick. When i come to open world of warcraft, I click the icon to launch, then the play button.

It then delays and has to "think" about what it is doing, The HDD light is not on so dont think it is that.

Around 15 seconds later the launch screen will pop up for my login details. Once this screen is up it is quite alright.

I have noticed though some "glitches" that i have never had before.

Such as, when i am dead and click release i see the "ghost world" before the loading screen, this is only a matter of 1 or 2 seconds. But never had this before.

I have fully formatted my pc since this started, The computer has on it.

Windows 7 x64 Ultimate (Genuine)
Kaspersky Internet Security 2011
World of Warcraft
World of Warcraft Cata Beta
Team Speak 3
Razer naga software
Google chrome

They are all the programmes i have installed.

The system spec is as follows

GIGABYTE, MA790FXT-UD5P
AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 970 Processor with 1 x THERMALTAKE CL-P0539, ISGC-300 for cooling.
CORSAIR 4GB KIT, 2*2GB DDR3 XMS3, 1600MHZ
GIGABYTE HD 5770, 1GB GDDR5 (OC Version)
WESTERN DIGITAL 1TB (64mb Cache)

All inside Xigmatek Utgard Midi Tower Case, with an Evo Labs 900w PSU

The running temps if of any use are as follows

CPU Idle 26 degrees C
Under load (wow full graphics) 39 degrees C

Graphics card is sat at 27 Degrees C idle, but climbs to 52 degrees C under load on wow, full.

Im am getting the temps and usage from AMD Overdrive Utility. The grapics card, when playing wow on low settings or full settings sits at 90 - 100% usage. (im not sure this is accurate)

Nothing has been clocked, everything is Stock.

Any advice would much appreciated.

Thanks

Thought this was normal tbh never seen it any other way.

Many similar display bugs like this in game atm, send a ticket.
Honestly from what you've said doesn't appear to be anything wrong.
Your computer is mroe than enough to run this.

Remember is it mid patch at the moment for the run up to Cata also.
 
Absolutely normal at the moment. There are still tons of small bugs/glitches in the game. Hopefully they will be cleared up in the next 2 weeks.
 
Thanks for the replies.

I did try bliz tech support and there answer was "it is your computer" which i knew it wasn't.

Also, understand it mid patch, and a lot going on etc. Was just seeing if any one else had the same issue, and if there is some sort of fix.
