    Mhmm. As far as I can tell, everything is up to date.

    Checked power options? Maybe when the professional guy did w/e he did he changed some stuff. Got maximum performance while plugged in turned on and all that?

    I guess I should have mentioned that in the TL;DR... I did rant quite a bit >.> but yes, that's all set up.

    New HDD could mean you're missing the MOBO drivers i guess which could affect the on board graphics.

    I looked into that really quickly and didn't find much. I'll keep looking though.

    Dunno what the deal with that link is but it looked dodgy.

    Sorry for the delay, I needed some sleep. Certainly glad I didn't click on any of those links if you're getting that kind of a security alert. I'll remove the link and keep looking.

    In the mean time, still looking for answers if anyone has them.

    I sent you back a reply.

    Does anyone else have any suggestions? Again, any help at all is appreciated.

    Just to be sure are you sing the latest nvidia drivers for ur gpu? It says you have a gt 540m.

    Latest Version 301.42 - WHQL
    Release Date Tue May 22, 2012

    Also are you running wow in full screen mode with low/medium settings and set to 60hz? Not sure if you card supports Dx11 mode it should do fine in dx9 mode.

    And it's good to leave v-sync on. Fixes screen tearing.

    Yes, I'm running wow in full screen with v-sync enabled and low settings. My computer can actually handle higher settings but I don't see the point in flashy graphics, but that's neither here nor there. I'm not sure if my nvidia drivers are up to date or not, but upon searching for them in all programs and files, all I had come up was "no items match your search" so I'm thinking/wondering it it's missing from my computer entirely.

    So it turns out the guys that did my repair didn't bother replacing things like my graphics driver. I've done that now and everything is fixed. Thanks so much for the help though. Many <3s.
