Hi Robbes,

Does this happen only when online? If so.. try running a Spyware
scan before doing anything else. www.microsoft.com/spyware

| While playing games i have 2-3 minutes of normal play (no lag, crashes, or
| freezes) followed by a 20 second freeze and then it goes back to normal play,
| and the process repeats, making any game play virtually impossible. All the
| system requirements of these games are far below what I have, and I just
| talked to blizzard and got new drivers, which did not solve the problem. I
| am not sure wether this is a windows error or a system error either. Any
| help would be tremendous!
