i purchased and built my own computer recently and everything runs fine. when i play certain games such as counter-strike:source or combat arms, the game freezes for a second and continues on. I have a 9800gx2, e8500, ddr2 1066, 850W psu, and a GIGABYTE GA-EP45C-DS3R motherboard. it is brand new, secure, and shouldnt be lagging. my ping spikes during lag if that has anything to do with it. i tried setting priority higher and it didnt do anything. i tried updating my bios to see if it was the motherboard not propperly recognizing the cpu and that didnt fix it. i tried redownloading to see if the game files were corrupt. i tried shifting all processes to 1 processor and the game to the other and it still didnt work. i have the vista driver for my wireless and i dont think that is the problem. I am getting 300+fps in these games and still getting random freezes. i monitored my cpu, disk, and network usage with resource monitor during a freeze and nothing different was happening. any help would be greatly appreciated
