Video & audio completely freeze during server game.

[legacy-schismfear]

After I join a UT2004 server and play a game for awhile, my screen and audio freezes for about 10 to 15 seconds. It then resumes as normal but will continue to do this every few minutes. Any idea's would be very helpful. It only started to do this after I installed the latest patch 3339.

I have the latest nVidia drivers of course and system is completey up to date.

AMD Athlon 64 3200 processer
1 GB ddr ram
GEforce 5200 128 bit video card

This is really getting to be very annoying during gameplay!
Anyone who has any idea's please respond.
Thanks so much

Just started today-- I play for ~5 - 15 minutes and the game freezes...kinda. I can still move around, but weapons don't fire, and entities keep moving on the vectors that they were on right before the freeze. Sometimes the game resumes, but most the time I loose the server connection. I thought it was the latest window updates, but after restoring I found out its not. I haven't had any problems at all until now. I'm still on v3323. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I should have said this before-- I've already checked around the forum and there are others with or have had similar problems. But I can say for a fact its not these things:

Apps or processes (antivirus, messenger, ect...),
HD r-w's (precache is disabled in the ini, vmemory is honed),
overheating cpu, gpu, or mobo (temps nominal)
memory problems (p95 in the green),
rogue windows/network crap,
ISP problems (every other online app is solid)
