Also check the processes next time it happens ( Ctrl+Alt+Del..Process tab) You may have someting running in there that is taking priority.

i think i fixed it now. turns out it was probably spyware/adware. i went to the processes tab and found something called adware or adhelper, something like that. i uninstalled that coz it was on my programs list and then ran spybot sd. restarted the pc and played a bit. havent had the problem yet, so thx i think i fixed it.

thanks again for the ideas guys.
