help! i just bought a new pc and it seems like whenever i try to run a game i.e.: NFS undercover or Underground2 or left4dead my computer slows down a lot and the audio starts crackling.
the games run really smoothly for 2 seconds and then start lagging for 5 seconds and then goes back to normal for a bit and then goes back to laggy and it gets really frustrating! lol
although sometimes they run perfectly i have no idea why the games lag like that even after i turn the game off the audio will still be choppy and make crackling noises i have nothing running in the background either.
all the problems go away after i reboot though, but then they come back >:I
PC specs:
intel core2quad Q8200 @ 2.33ghz (not OCd)
8gb ram ddr3
ati radeon hd 4650
1TB hard drive
Vista 64 bit (waiting for windows 7 to ship =p)
please help me!!!
