I've tried disabling antivirus but that did not work

1345280 2013-06-11 10:02:00 If you are playing online it's probably not a good idea to disable your antivirus.
But try temporarily disabling the others & see if the problem is still there.

It's likely your PSU. I would upgrade it ASAP, lest it blow up and literally take the rest of your PC with it. Seriously.

1345282 2013-06-11 21:54:00 Regardless of whether it's your PSU or not, get that horrible thing out of there and put something decent in. Aywun are not ideal at all. wratterus (105)
1345283 2013-06-11 22:37:00 Unplug your secondary HDD for one gaming sessions worth and see if that resolves the issue, could well be it's going in to standby or something similar... Chilling_Silence (9)
1345284 2013-06-12 04:21:00 Momentarily freezing in my experience is memory related....I expect the BIOS hasn't set the timing correctly....or you have failing RAM SolMiester (139)
1345285 2013-06-12 22:26:00 Does this only happen when you're playing online? Or offline single player too?

If offline as well, then I'd say probably PSU, maybe RAM. As mentioned it's a good idea to replace the PSU you've got anyway. After having two cheaper brands literally explode in my face I can highly recommend not using them :D You could try running on individual sticks of RAM - if the problem only happens with a certain stick of RAM installed then you've found the culprit.

Personally I don't think that's the case though. I think it's more likely that the GPU is throttling now and then due to power issues (i.e. that "650 Watt" PSU can't supply enough power on the 12v rail).

1345286 2013-06-12 23:05:00 Run memtest extended tests on the RAM, test the graphics card with furmark and see how hot its getting, check the CPU temps with realtemp, replace that PSU with a decent one, then get back to us if you haven't solved it. dugimodo (138)
1345287 2013-06-13 07:33:00 +1, I'd check the RAM out. ChazTheGeek (16619)
