A weirdo bug?

[sandok13]

Every minute or 30 seconds or sooo everygame on my PC lags... Why is this? Any one know how to fix this? I have reinstalled my 3D card but no go.... Ohhh and like the screen only freezes for an instant of a second!

Probably your ram is bottlenecking your performance, what is your specs?

I got a 9800 PRo, 2048 RAM, P4 3GHZ and 200HD... Should be fine (plus a audigy 2)

How new is your comp? Did you build it yourself or buy from a manufacturer? If it's new, and custom-built, make sure you installed ALL of the chipset drivers for your motherboard...that can severely degrade performance if you neglect to do that.

Gigabyte GA-8S661FX-M
P4 2.4B @ 2982MHz w/ stock cooling
768MB PC2100 DDR
1x80GB & 1x60GB WD HDD
Radeon 9600 Pro
SB Audigy 2 NX

i bought a dell but my garantee is over... damn!

well i guess i should have asked your specs first..lol.. looks good, should play this game well by the looks of it. My only suggestion is to try updating everything like mobo drivers, gfx drivers, windows update, stuff like that.

I would also take a look at fragmentation. 2 gigs of RAM = big swap file, plus huge drive = slowdowns. Also, it might be polling your CD-ROM drive for some reason. Does the light come on?
You can try not running in full screen mode and keep task manager open. You would want to sort by CPU. This way you could keep an eye on task manager and see if some other application is eating up clock cycles when your slowdowns occur.
What OS are you running?
Hopefully its not '98. http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Try installing Cacheman .It will optimise ram and you will see by running log if you are maxing ram

Sounds like something (software, a service perhaps) is taking up cpu cycles every 30 seconds or so. What do you have running in the background?
