Any games that utilize my 3D hardware will stall every few seconds, then continue normally for another few seconds before briefly stalling again. I've googled and googled, and I've found a handful of reports of the same exact problem with a variety of video cards, leading me to believe that it's not a hardware failure, but rather some kind of obscure software conflict. Attempts to solve the problem: --uninstalled and reinstalled the card with the original drivers --updated to the newest drivers from nvidia.com --disabled the sound card to try & resolve potential conflicts System specs: Windows XP Home Edition, SP2 Intel Pentium 4 1.49 GHz 896MB RAM NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 -- 128MB (PCI) SB Live!
