Hi, I'm having problems with some games I play. The screen freezes and the sound stutters for about 15-30 seconds then the sound stops for 5-10 seconds then the screen unfreezes and the sound goes back to normal then it will happen again and again. I play Warcraft 3 and it seldom happens. It usually happens when I play GTA3 and Half Life 2. I downloaded the november release of directx9.0c and installed it and it still happens. I met the system requirements for all the game I play. This does not happen when I play MMOs like Granado Espada. My PC specs are as follow:

CPU: Athlon XP 2500+
Memory: 1GB DDR
Video Card: Nvidia FX5200
Sound Card: SoundMAX Digital Audio

I did not install the latest nvidia driver as I have had bad experience before with the Forceware drivers. The version of the driver that I am using is 78.01

thanks!
