Game freezes for 10-20 seconds.

At the moment it is Dungeon Siege 1 and Gothic 2, both the Russian version, Gothic and even license. Freezes the same way: during the game stop picture, after 8-10 seconds hangs and sound. Then everything comes back to normal for a few seconds and then hangs, the computer does not respond to anything until you droop. Such freezing has been observed before, I do not remember any games.

System:
NVidia NF4-A9A chipset
AMD 3000+ 1.8 GHz
NVidia GeForce 7600GT
Operatively 1Gb of memory.
Drivers for chipset and video card just put the newest, didn't help.

What could be the problem?

maybe RAM not enough? I have 2 gig - everything is OK.

For DS1? ^ ^
No, of RAM enough remains vacant more than a half (for DS1), I look through task manager.
Oh, I forgot to say, OS - XP Pro.

Maybe this: open your system unit and clean it from dust with a vacuum cleaner and a brush. I had the same garbage. Even Quake 1 Visla, although Quake 3 in normalem able computer finally flies O_O When I cleaned it, everything was OK :)

To get. The dust was very small (by the standards sistemnika ;) ), but the computer to slow down it seems to have stopped! At least DS1 worked fine for about 5 minutes, but before 20 seconds, vis. I hope unresponsiveness does not resume, at least until the next dusting :)

Thank You, Rossinver! :)

Alas, Gothic 2 again for this. Started later than usual, but just as dead :/

When you clean the computer, then the most important thing is to clean the fans. As I understand it one of them is visible and sticks out the back, and the second is somewhere inside (whether for gestao, whether for vidyuhi). Here is one of them should be VERY GOOD again Khatyn ... subtract a brush and a vacuum cleaner. When the fan will start to revolve with high speed (creating the visual impression that it is not the fan, and the circle) while the vacuum (suction tube of the vacuum cleaner is put to the fan), then you can assume that you're more or less cleaned their valves. Most importantly, when you get to climb a brush, don't break anything :)

All three coolers work freely, so I cleaned again. Unresponsiveness in progress :( remember, a percent is at the moment depend on 100% loaded - it shows the task manager.

Got any other ideas? :)

Try to reduce settings, there is a memory overflow due to the fact that the world is underachieving loaded.

Either overheating... or the swapping... Disable the pagefile, all vacuum coolers

Yes, adrax right, turn off the paging file, and it is only for the graphical editors rushing and the system slows down

Wow back to the past, 2007...

Okay, maybe someone from the future will stumble on this crap:

TURN OFF THE COMPUTER
TAKE OUT THE RAM
INSERT THE RAM
RUN COMP

Can help.
