Okay, I honestly dont know what's going on..i think i've got it down to the MB or HDD (possible virus). well when i'm playing bf3 my pc has (hickups) very often..meaning it'll cruise at 60fps on a custom ultra/high settings with SSAO and Motion blur off. and it just out of nowhere it freezes for a small moment and drops down to 20 fps or less and it holds for about 1-2 seconds and makes it's way back up to 60fps rather quickly but it is very very frustrating as it makes doing almost anything impossible in the game due to the consistency of the (hickups)...any ideas?
