my computer seems to have the same problem, not during games, but just using winamp, opera, or visual basic it seems to freeze and repeat the sound over and over. once it gave me a message that there was a memory overload, i ultimately had to reinstall my os. at first i thought it was the heat issue, and maybe it is, but when i saw "memory overload" it occured to me that it could be something else. i don't see why it would overload, i have plenty of ram, hd space, and i wasn't running many programs at the time. if anyones had this problem lmk so i can correct it
