What card you run again?

[HTM~CheeZmonZter]

EVGA 8800 Gts with 640mb ram, not oced

oc

Are you oc ing the ram or the cpu,?.allso are you geting a bluescreen saying irq not eqwal or less than if you are than it could be a HD failing.or have you updated your drivers.some of the new drivers that still suport that card may cause a problem if you dont clean your preveus drivers.For starts i would uninstall the driver and use driver cleaner pro and wipe out any tailings of any drivers,then reboot and reinstall the driver. Also the PS may cause it,even if the sentinel doesn't report that the card has low power.Also maybe heat.

good luck bro.

Update the video drivers & if you have any of those old nvidia 8800 tweaks for 2k4 undo them,the newer drivers don't need the tweak or they mess up,hitching,crash etc.

The old tweaks.

My ATI HD2900XT did that and it ended up being the card itself, do you still have any warranty left on your's?

If you upgraded but did not reinstall UT from scratch try backing up all INI files and then deleting all of them except the ones that have default in their name. And replace those with the ones that are on the installation CD.

Then run the game and see if you reproduce it.

There may be some references to other hardware in the INI files. If this works add things back in one string at a time like user name and other settings and then delete the backups when no longer needed.
