OK, guys, I need your help here. For a couple of weeks now, when playing FPSs - Call of Duty and Day of Defeat mostly, things will start up fine, but after a couple of minutes the game stops for about 20 seconds, playing the same sound over and over again. This will happen every 5 minutes or so. It will come back out of a "freeze" and play normal until about five minutes later....and so on
I use a relatively old computer P4 1.6, 512 SDRAM, Transcend 9600 Pro
I think I have the latest drivers installed - Cat 4.3 or 4.4
I do not overclock.
I did not have this problem before, even when I was using an old Hercules 3D Prophet II 32 MMX card that was a couple of years old.
I found that if I took off the side of my case and laid the tower down open, it temporarily solved the problem, but that's not working now. I thought maybe it was an airflow problem. My vid card is not running to hot, but my processor I can feel a lot of heat from.
Anyone have ideas on what I can do to stop this? Thanks in advance.
