So I don't play anything for a month or two, decide to load up JA SP and every 5 minutes or so the game will freeze for about 30 seconds, then run fine. I got FarCry and it pauses for 15 seconds every minute! I did a search and all I could find was "Install earlier drivers" which I did, and now it doesn't even un-freeze. =\
I'm running with a GeForce4 Ti4600 and didn't have any problems a few months ago.
