You could try booting to Safe Mode by pressing F8 at the POST screen. then do a system restore to before the WoW update.

safe mode is a no go, wont even go into that.

Only thing left to do before format and reinstall is to try doing a repair install of Windows check this site for instructions:

It mat be too late but I have had a similar problem. "solved" by booting up in VGA mode, problem for me seemed to be a hardware glitch on the video card.
