Try playing the game with the tower open and a fan blowing inside the computer. If this makes a difference, let us know and we'll go from there...

Try playing the game at different resolutions and different color depths. IT maybe that ur PC is not able to churn out the power required for some high tech current games.

As a safekeeping also download and install the latest game patches coz u never know.

Still if u would have posted the game it would have helped.

Bye.
