Stuttering and Freezing

Hello,

I'm having an issue with stuttering and freezing. The stuttering occurs more often than the freezing, but usually leads to the freezing. I believe it's either the SLI profile or my audio drivers. Here are my specs:

Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit
AMD X2 Dual Core 2.41 GHz
2x Geforce 8800GT SLI
Soundblaster Audigy Platinum

I have all the latest drivers, but my sound card is quite old.

Help is greatly appreciated!

On certain threads, it has been recommended that Vista-64 users disable SLI.

There is an issue with the GeForce's nVidia drivers : nVidia has been informed, and it is trying to fix it.

On another thread, a Microsoft patch for Vista-64 has been refered to.

You should explore the threads and posts, on this forum, which discuss the Vista-64 problems.

(I still have XP, and I am far from being an expert on Vista and Vista-64 : I'm just reporting what I've seen on other threads.)

Thanks CyberMage!

I've been looking, and I believe I already have the Vista-64 patch from Microsoft installed. I'll try disabling SLI and see if that helps.

EDIT:
After turning off SLI, the freezing has all but disappeared, but there is still some stuttering. I'm going to try some beta graphics drivers, and see if that helps.

Thanks again!
