I'm Using an AMD 6000+ on an Asus M2n-Mx Se Plus mobo, 2gb OCZ Ram, 160gb SATA HDD, XFX GeForce 8500 GT 512 ddr2 PCIe video card, 450 watt power supply. Any game i run freezes for about 5-10 seconds every minute or so. i've ruled out the RAM and the Video Card. any thoughts??Check your game settings...and disable anti-aliasing. See if this corrects the problem.its been offWhat exactly have you done to rule out RAM and the video card?

Specifically what games are you having this problem with? What games do you play? ("all games" doesn't help much)I suspect the card...it'll be interesting to see how exactly it was ruled out as a suspect.i have onboard video so i took it out and tried thati have another computer with the same type of RAM so i switched them out. right now the only ones i'm playing are AOE 3 and OblivionYou may have overheating issues! What windows is this?windows XP, i've got a water cooler on it which STAYS about 35C idleQuote from: mgaylor23 on May 31, 2008, 01:57:10 PM
