GF 6800GT problem? - freezes in game+stream

Question

hey all, you are my last resort to solve a irritating problem...
During the last few months, i'm having freezes while playing world of warcraft. The screen just freezes, i can't give input of any kind, and this for a few seconds. Sound goes on as normal (most of the times). After a few seconds, it continues as nothing had happend, except of course, that since it's an online game, i'm usually dead by then. Also video streaming freezes, though less obvious. When playing a video stream (like from youtube.com), the first time i play it, it freezes every few seconds. I know it's already fully downloaded (i thought it was my connection that couldn't keep up first), but when i try it with the "downloaded bar" complete, it's just the same.
my comp:
- AMD Athlon 64 3500+
- MSI K8N Neo2 deluxe mobo
- MSI GF 6800GT
- 1 gb DDR2
- 36gb raptor HD + 120Gb normal HD
- MS Windows XP home edition (legal ofc)
What i've tried:
- updating drivers for mobo, sound, nvidia,...
- updating windows
- reinstalled windows
- set my graph card latency to 64 with some tool i found online while looking for solution. It was recommended to try it, so i did... to no result
- installed nvidia monitor. While playing, i had some freezes, then checked afterwards: no problems registered. Temperature went up to 60-70°C, no warnings or problems. Voltage: CPU 1.5000 V - Mem 2.7000 V - AGP 1.5000 V
As far as i know, i did nothing to trigger this. I did not overclock. Didn't wash my mainboard with water or something... no beer spilled... I'm running out of ideas to try, so any suggestion at all would be welcome! Thanks in advance

Answer 1

i let orthos test my machine for almost 3 hours, didn't seem to find any errors, so...
i copy-pasted the report. i think that we can decide that the temp is not the problem here... so basically, what's left? it's not temp, probably not too little psu, maybe too much? Is that possible? And what can i do about it?
I know there must be a solution, and i know it's close... now just reach out and grab it please
