Hey there, so as the title says my PC is getting huge lag spikes now and then -- saying that, it's more often than I think it should happen. It's not only in wow, out of WoW sometimes also, it's getting beyond the point where I have to restart my computer ALOT.

So since I'm not really smart with all this 'techy jazz' I'll just link my specs now and hope one of you delightful people of the forums can help! :)

Possibly an out of date addon? Also try run a diagnostic on your computer aswell as a virus scan.
If all else fails then it will be network problems
