    Could be other programs in the background interupting - have you closed other programs and disabled AV/firewall (if not playing online)?

    Did your previously upgrade your GPU, it may be the old drivers.

    If you have vsync enabled, turn it off. If not turn it on .

    Right click on desktop>properties>settings>advanced>geforce 6600gt.

    It's under "performance and quality settings".

    Probably nothing to do with it but it's worth a go.

    Possibly a power issue - what make and wattage PSU do you have?

    Hmm... pointing to the gfx then. You could try a different set of drivers - which are you using now?
