tfdml 0 Posted August 7, 2005 AMD64 FX-53 BFG nVidia 6800 Ultra 1 gig corsair twinx MSI mobo (I forget the model #, but it has nVidia drivers as well) Windows XP Pro directx 9.0c nVidia 77.72 drivers When I play pretty much any directx game (Painkiller, Far Cry, Homeworld 2) the game will just hang up for 5-10 seconds with the music hanging (even winamp/iTunes) for the same 5-10 seconds. This happens about every 30 seconds to a minute of gameplay. When I run Doom 3 (OpenGL game) everything works fine. I've tried re-installing directx 9.0c several times, tried running dxdiag, all tests pass.. ****Also, changing the video settings in the directx games to their lowest settings has no effect on the stalls.**** I'd love any help on this as it is insanely annoying.
