Built a New System

[Master Chief]

Just built a new system. 2 gigs of ram, evga 7800 gt, Amd 3000, Epox mobo, its nice. Anyway, I have one issue. When I play games on it (Quake 4, X-men Legends 2 and Fear,so far), all of a sudden as I am playing, the game will freeze up. I can still hear the audio, but cant move or anything. After about 10-30 seconds, the game resumes and I can play again. This is really getting to me. As a test, I installed and played Quake 2, and had absolutly no problems with that game. So whats the deal here, my gaming computer can not play the latest games? Can someone please help me?

Master Chief,

my computer did that too when I was watching someone else play FarCry on it.

I shut down some of the applications running in the background, like McAfee VirusScan, and the freezing problem immediately ceased.
I hope that in some way helps you. With all that RAM you have, your freeze up problem shouldn't be caused by file swapping.
