I have an issue when starting the game it starts and i play, while i'm playing out of no where the screen freezes and the cusor moves like every 5 seconds, also there is a weird sound like the ingame sound is freezing with the game but the whole game freezes, the only way to get rid of it is to force shut down my computer i dont know what to do can anyone help really appreciated!!!!! I build my computer.....it has 8 gigs of ram currently displaying only 2.75 with xp and is dual boot, 8800 GTX 768 MB RAM, 1000 WATT POWERSUPPLY, 780i MOTHERBOARD, and intel dual proccessor 6600 at 3.0 GHZ

It sound like heat. Xp will only show and use about 3 gigs of ram. Have you cleaned the dirt out of your case lately?

It'll run on a gig. If everything is covered in dust, it will cause heat because the fan cannot cool off the parts under it. I know because mine did it to me.
If you know where your video card is, put your hand on the case there and see if you have a warm spot. If you do, bet you just found your biggest problem.
