Welcome to IW [img]graemlins/happywave.gif[/img]

I had the same problems, mostly during transitioning between areas, until I upgraded to the new nVidia 40.72 reference drivers. I haven't had any problems at all since.
It could also be your onboard sound as well. Older onboard sound chips are notorious for causing hang ups and problems during gaming.
Good Luck!
As a side note I can't even install any patch above 1.22. Auto update tells me to do it manually because it can't complete it, and trying a manual update doesn't work either! Oh well, game runs fine the way it is.
