Ever since last week i started experiencing frequent freezes and crashes. Sometimes randomly during playing and very often when alt+tabbing or switching to browser on 2nd screen.
Usualy whole windows freezes for 10-30 sec, and the game either recovers or crashes. Only happens with world of warcraft. The game itself is running fine on 100+ fps most of the time.
I already reinstalled the game, restarted interface, reinstalled windows. Disabled all overlay programs (discord,NZXT cam, Xbox game bar)
It sounds as though you are likely having a TDR given the length of the freezes. Effectively, your graphics drivers are stopping and being restarted. Nvidia have a great forum post about these here.
Given this, the steps in our general crashes would be an excellent place to start.
If the issue persists, please upload your system files to pastebin.com and reply with the links to the files using the preformatted text option to encapsulate the links.
I have spent lot of time troubleshooting prior to the port. TDR is definitely a posibility. Wierd thing is that i haven had any issues until like a week ago (was playing for over a month without any issue), without any changes done to my PC setup or anything.
Here are steps i have done so far
Restarted interface
updated nvidia drivers and windows to most recent version
rolled back drivers 2 versions back (no change)
Tried running in DirectX 11
Ran repair tool (prior to re-installing windows)
Re-installed windows
Re-dowloaded entire game
set my CPU and GPU to factory defaults
Checked CPU and GPU temps
Restarted video driver seetings
ran ScanDisk
ran Mem Diagnostic
Ran game without addons
Tried running windowed mode
Ran full system stress test (15 min)
The worst thing is only Wow is affected as far as im avare. For example currently playing Cyberpunk without any issues
Crashes/freezes affect whole system when they happen, most often when switching between browser/discord and wow. In some cases even randomly while playing
The Nvidia article mentions PSU issues, im runing 850w Platinum which should be enough for 3080 under full load
Here are the puleld info

Thank you for any further feedback
