MOH Airborn freezing on High end Machine

Ok guys first time posting to the board, so go easy on me.
I installed MOH Airborn yesterday and when I start it up I get nothing but chop from the load screen on. It's like the game is using 100% of my CPU then moves on a little then freezes again. I can't even start to play! The mouse and keyboard even freeze. After patiently waiting for a minute or 2 I can just barely exit out of the game.
Then in windows it's seems to be fine again.

I've updated all the drivers. (mobo, video, sound) No udates for game yet. Come to think about it I have had a few problems with a a few other games.

BTW, the system is fully watercooled with the exception of RAM. ( FETS, VIDEO, CPU, North/South bridge)

I don't seem to be having heat issues, I've even put a High Speed Shop fan blowing on the mobo and RAm to be sure.
Could this be a RAM issue? I've heard a lot of RAM problems with the StrikerExtream?

Thanks for the reply,
I installed the game on my older system (X2 4800+, 2gb ddr, 74 gb raptor, 7800 GTX) and it ran perfect.

I'm gonna run the memtest like you suggested.
Though before under EVEREST UE I every time I tried to run the Cache & Memory benchmark the Comp would freeze once it got to L2 Cache????
I've also changed the Nvidia settings to your seggestions.

I'll let you know, thanks.

I'm pretty sure I've got a RAM or Mobo problem. This sucks, anyone got suggestions for a new board. I really don't overclock anymore so I just need something stablele.

This sound's like your having a drive problem not driver's but drive as in your trying to run your game's on the same drive as your OS. Try running your games on a D/ drive or set up a raid O for your game's and stuff and use a raptor as a C/ for your OS. And I hope you have a seterate psu on that cooling your using.

I run a 740 Raptor For C/ and then put as much of he other stuff on D/ in a folder. As I like to use Acronis Ill be using raptor's instead of raid aray's. Im running a medium grade gameing system like I allway's do.

O yeha you did remember to take your ram off the JDEC recomended voltage and reset it to MFG suggested ram voltage? Most ram is set up to start a pc at 1.8V but after you get into the bio's you need to reset it to the MFG suggested voltage like 2.1 or 2.2 ? That's a biggie new to DDR-2 ram.

C2Q6600 Quad Kentsfield at 3.3 on air
4X1Gig or Crucill Bzlistic PC-6400 clocked up to about 881mhz
Asus P5K Vanilla P-35 MOBO
EVGA 8800GTS not even overclocked run's fine
Viewsonic 22in VM2235vm grate lcd for the price
700wat OCZ GamsXStreme
Vista 64bit Ultra
Lan-Lee 6 bay tower.

As you can tell it aint much of a gaming system compared to the monster's your running but I run just about every game just fine. I dont try to run everythig maxed out and I dont run anything I dont have to on C/ and that help's. BA
