I've never seen a firmware update in my searches. (Nor have I read anyone say they've done one on this card...)

Yes, I am running onboard audio. I'll try a sound card. Thanks for pointing that out.

Just disable it.

For that matter, disable everything you dont absolutely need from inside your bios.  Unplug cd-roms/hdds/remove ram sticks etc... get down to the barest of bones that you need to get into the game and see if it works.  If it does, start to enable things.

Ginsu Victim:
hard drives aren't a problem, as I tried two different ones previously.

I'd considered removing 2 GB of RAM and trying them one at a time.

I'll try disabling the sound and running a game without it before I try the sound card. Thanks for that idea.

(I'm jotting all these ideas down and will try them later)

How is removing RAM going to provide an effective test on high load slowing down of the PC?

If one of the RAM chips are the issue, NOT having it in there might prove that it's a RAM issue.
It'll be a constant slow down, not an intermittent one.

Every RAM issue I've had froze the system completely, not slowed it down. *shrugs*

Does input slow everything down? For instance, watching a DVD and typing away?

Hey, I'm grasping at straws here.
