Audio reseting in game and making me have lag spikes

[aaronabey]

Hello, I'm trying to figure out why i'm getting 2-3 second lag spikes that reset the sound in game, *let me explain I'm playing WoW and i'm running around listening to the music playing in stormwind and all the sudden i get a huge lag spike that freezez me and then as soon as i come out of the lag spike the song that was just playing ie: town music. Restarts over. Can anyone help me with this? or let me know what might be the problem? this is new computer from cyberpowerpc and just downloaded drivers new for the video card it came with geforce gt 520. might be a driver? or something? i have no clue sense mine are up to date.

glad you got part of it fixed, lets see here... first we need what your power supply says, we need to know that there will be no problems running a higher end card (most times power supplys that companies put in is JUST enough to drive the current system and doesn't allow for upgrades)

To do this you just take off the side panel of the case, there are screws in the back holding the 2 pieces of metal together, now either at the bottom or the top corner there should be a box with wires coming out of it, can you tell us the brand/make and model of the power supply? (also don't do this with it turned on, nothing will happen if it is turned on im just saying it might not be a good idea )

Also we need your monitor resolution, to do this go to your desktop. right click, hit "Screen Resolution" then tell us your recommended resolution (which it should already be at if its not already select it from the drop down box)
