Graphic card issues

[kabab]

I got a GeForce TI 4200.
When playing movies there are occasional pauses for a couple of seconds, games also run in a pretty annoying way.
Background programs are antivirus and a firewall which don't cause this for sure.
Latest drivers installed, tried older drivers too.
Fresh installation of Win XP.
Graphic card sick? Maybe it's AIDS or something, dono....

So many things could be causing this.
DVDrom struggling to read (dirty optics)
DVDrom disk scratched or dirty
DVD disk incompatible in some way with rom
Hardware issues:
Poor memory performance (bad stick of ram)
Graphics card fault
Driver fault (Motherboard chipset drivers) or graphics
Background programs interfering
DVD software, there is a lot of differance in picture quality between player software brands.
The list goes on.

kabab - post what your system specs are... ie. motherboard, ram type and size, DVD drive, HD drive, which driver you are using, AGP FACTOR (BIOS) and AGP aperture size (BIOS), what DVD player you are using, etc. all that might be helpful...

as said already by Martin this could almost be anything...

Biggest cause I'v seen on this is people running 128 or 256megs of ram with Windows XP. Installed more to get up to 512 and 99% of the time that problem disappears
