I like to play on line games....recently my computer is freezing up for a
couple of seconds and then starts back up ....it is annoying....I dont
really notice it while surfing the web....just playing....I have cleaned the
fans for overheating...defragged..... Awhile back I wrote concerning a fly
in my speakers....havent heard that for a while....changed speakers...the
noise was still there but now it isnt....havent changed anything...any help
would be appreciated...

I do have Zone alarm,
Earthlink totalaccess,
Norton anitvirus everything is fine with all that...I am figuring maybe a
video card...but I dont know what it is ...where do I find out ...??

Try going to run,typeXDIAG Run the direct X tests,you might also open
event viewer,look for errors/warnings in the system.

I have also noticed that when the computer is first turned on I can play
with no problems...but after it has been on maybe a couple of hours then the
problem starts...??
