Frequent stalling

I'm having frequent 1-5 second stalls while playing games, mostly online or over a LAN. When it occurs, everything system-wide stops (even itunes), and then starts up in a few seconds. I fixed the problem earlier by disabling the AGP fastwrite (FW) in the bios, but then last night at a LAN the problem came back. I havn't installed SP2 so I tired that and installed all the latest video/motherboard drivers and now its doing it even at home.

My system is a amd 64 3400+, gforce 6800 ultras, k8n-e deluxe, 1 gig ram, and 500 watt power supply.

I don't even know where to start looking, is it a hardware or software problem? or maybe not enough power? A friend thinks its my motherboard but I dont have parts to switch out. Any help would be appreciated.
 
click on my sig 🙂

Um... apparently it goes away somehow....
Try turning off fast write and um... disabling nv/ati speed up in your bios, its hidden in mine.

Can you only do that with AGP cards?
 
I downloaded RivaTuner and ran the hardware monitor to see what my temps were at. My card is actually running really warm. it peaked at 69 C, could that be the problem you think? It ran fine for like 5 mins then the stalls started happening every 30 or less seconds.

What are some ways I could cool down my card? I already have a lot of fans with decent air flow.

Get a better fan for your card? A Zalman maybe.
