When you say freeze, you mean it stalls, the game keeps running - you can hear sound - and then suddenly you are back free flowing for a short time, then 1-3 seconds of freezing? Same here with me if that is your case. I created a RAM disk and put some of the larger BPO files on that BUT I have been told (in game) that a 100% fresh re-install solves the drama........... Google "AMAII lag spikes +Drive Thrashing" Good luck!
