Hi
I just installed XP on my Asus A7V motherboard.
Installed newest VIA drivers, and NVIDIA 21.85 drivers (Have tried other drivers also).
The graphic card is a GF1, and I have a PCI128 soundcard using XP drivers.
 
The problem is that in most games like Red Faction and in Counter-Strike it pause, or do a small skip/hopp every other second. It's not random but very regulary.
 
I have installed the latest bios for my mb.
 
HELP!!

Is your mouse USB? If it is, try running it in PS2 mode, if you can. USB can sometimes cause hicks because it relies on the CPU more than PS2. It may do SFA, but give it a try
