Get a better graphics card, the one that came with it is like Onboard graphics. You have PCI-e x16 slot type. Go to Newegg.com and pick one out that fits your budget and gaming needs.

like teklord said get a video card in that bad boy and all will be good also try turning down all the graphics settings in the game that will help alot especially if you have shadows on trust me. hmmm so that is a video card its just made to do HD video basically and that s it might look into getting a new video card man.

he said it worked fine before so i dont think thats the problem.
it might be that you changed the settings, try lowering the settings on WoW
but to tell you the truth i dont have a clue

Reset your PC you said, what do you mean exactly?

Not sure how it's done, but I'd try shutting OFF the shared memory and just use the built in 512 megs you listed for video.

might just try downloading new drivers
