Look for something running in the background, ie; spyware. Download Ad
Aware, from download.com, and run a scan.

Hey Kham.
I had the same sort of problem for a while on my old system. It was caused
by a combination of undetected spyware and a minor virus i had picked up from
somewhere. Make sure all your virus definitions are updated and that you try
running two-three different types of spyware removal tools as they each only
pick up a certain amount of spyware crap. Also make sure you are running the
latest drivers for your video card and also the latest version of Doom 3
itself.
Hope this all helps.

Clear out all/any temp files also.

There is a very handy program available to clear out this kind of 'left
overs': Ccleaner (I believe the first c stand for crap) at
www.ccleaner.com. Got a few other very good features.
