Wow freezes for 5-10 sec randomly

Hi,

I have an issues with the game freezing for 5-10 seconds. The game audio keeps playing in the background. If I click the screen while frozen I get the “Wow is not responding” error, if not the game resumes. It started Sunday. I have made no changes to the game. I have not had any updates to OS or GPU. I have not installed any new programs. Thermals are fine. More demanding games run without problems.

Fixes I tried:

-Uninstalled all addons/ deleted cache/ interface /WTF folders

-Used the scan and repair tool

-Changed compatibility settings

-Uninstalled and reinstalled the game

-Reinstalled video drivers

-Turned off Vsync

-Changed DX to 11

Same here on MoP classic since the new ToT patch dropped (happened on PTR already).

Getting nvlddmkm error 13 and 153 on the event viewer.

Already tried different GPU drivers and many other potential fixes but the game still freezes quite regularly for around 20-30 seconds at a time.
Funnily enough this issue started appearing around the time dragonflight launched and with every patch it gets worse somehow…
