Serious Computer Help
I have a problem with my computer. When i play games i get this hitching in Games. Like my fps drops ever so slightly when i enter new areas or when sound occurs. It even occurs on games off the HL engine and newer games. It gets really annoying due to everytime i see an enemy it freezes up for a split second. Or when a new sprite enters the game it freezes up.
This didn't occur on my 5600 but on my 9800 Pro it happens in every game and is really annoying.
System Specs
AMD 3000+
Sapphire 9800 Pro
1 gig of pc 3200 ram
Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe Mobo
Please help me guys.

I have updated drivers to everything. I ran spybot search and destroy and adawar. Scaned for Virii and still not fixed.
PLEASE HELP

Alternately, I'd recommend disabling 'TwinBank' if it's on, given that I see that mobo is using an nFarce chipset. I've had to service machines where the TwinBank BS ended up frying the RAM, as it essentially overclocks it.
Beyond that, check you active process table and kill off anything that shouldn't be running. A friend had an Alienware, and it had the 'alien autopsy' software running, which stole focus (including, annoyingly enough, from fullscreen games) and caused short 'hangs' every now and again, because it was throwing errors.
edit: is it only when playing online? or offline aswell? have you tried direct3d or opengl?

I also have a VIA chipset, and it doesn't fry RAM, thank god, just as long as you put the correct type in it xD
kupe, if there isn't a memory overclocking option, go into your memory options in your BIOS, and look at the clock settings...
Is it at a higher value then it should be? And who manufactured your RAM?
would it just be easier to reformat?
To access the bios, you have to hold the delete key down as the computer is booting up
However some mobo manufacturers deviate from the standard, and so you might have to hold another button down, it should say which one as the computer boots up.
I had that problem with Doom3, just reduce the texture quality a little and it should sort it.
Hope that helps.

Normally you get to it by pressing delete at the post screen just after you turn your pc on.

He has a 9800 pro and it does it in Half-Life. It's not his video card.
