Pc specs:
Athlon 64 3000+
512 mb kingston HyperX ddr433
80 gig WD ide hdd
350w psu (12A)
radeon 9600 pro
MSI K8N Neo Platinum (nforce 3 250gb)
Okay, well my pc really doesnt like running games to begin with, but the weird thing is that HL2 acts really weird on my pc. About every 30 seconds to minute the video will freeze and the sound will start repeating for aobut 1 second, then it goes back to normal. I've heard other people are having this problem as well. When it was first extremely noticeable was when you have to throw the can at the combine guy to get by the gate. It's almost list my system has the hiccups.
THIS is the really weird part;....CS:S runs pretty well considering my mediocre graphics card. I will get frame rate slowdowns sometimes (like in aztec when I look at that really brown bumpmapped rock on the ground), but it will never freeze.
Anybody have any problems like this? I'm about to order a new motherboard as I am not happy with this one. Should I stick with this motherboard if this is a problem with HL2 and not my system?
