This is really pissing me off. Every time i play any game it will play fine for about three to five minutes then it will start getting really choppy like it was frozen and i cant do anything, then it will go away and i can play fine until a minute later it happens again. mad:

Is your hard drive almost full? when your computer runs out of memory, it uses free hard drive space as memory.

What are your computer specs. Include the video card specs and the size of your power supply.

No the power supply is the part that plugs into the electrical outlet. Power supplys are rated in watts. You could have a 250W power supply or a 450W power supply or somewhere inbetween (i hope) You would find the spec with the computers case info.

No The power supply is where the electric power plugs into your computer. If your power supply is to small it can overheat and cause problems like you describe. I had a 250W supply in my other computer and it kept locking up. I changed it to a 450W supply and no more lock ups. OK.

First remove one of the side panels. It should look like[url=http://www.cflsurf.com/images/computer/my-wincase-inside.jpg:32e2e]this.[/url:32e2e]
The part in the upper left hand corner is the power supply and should have a tag on it with the specs.
Now with the cover off try playing the game. Any change?
