Hi all. Im having this annoying problem. I upgraded from a Chaintech Gts250 to a Msi ngtx550ti. While gaming i get this occasional hang. maybe for like 2-3sec at a time every few minutes. I updated my gfx drivers to 285.62 . This hanging doesnt occur whie operating windows. only when i throw on a intesive gfx game like black ops or mw3. Friends saying its a weak psu. Its a 585w gigabyte odin. Ive de-fragged the drive and ran chkdsk. No overclocking has been done. My system specs are as follows:

Mobo : Intel dh55tc (tom cove)
Ram: 2x2gb kingston 1600mhz hyperx Ram
Gfx: Msi ngtx550ti
Ram Drives: 1x dvd Writer
hdd: 1x seagate 500gb
psu: 585w gigabyte odin
cpu: intel core i5 650 @ 3.2ghz
Case: CoolerMaster Storm Scout.

Thnx to any1 who tries to help me with this issue.

Check your game settings. Some possible ways are: decreasing resolution, disabling anti-aliasing (AA), enabling/decreasing vsync. Try those out. Your power supply and cpu are fine. I think it should be your video setting :p
