I will have about 3 or 4 good minutes of play then all the sudden, screen freezes and the audio from the game acts like an old record that is skipping, then skipping gets faster and all the sudden after a moment, it comes back alive but i am dead, of course. Playing resumes and after a few minutes, same thing happens, any clues as to what is going on?
Please????

I have a similar problem. Sometimes my screen will lock and it'll play game sounds on a loop and stay like that for at least 30 seconds. Used to do it constantly before my old HDD crashed. It would freeze, loop sounds, then usually reboot on me. Now it doesn't reboot anymore, I don't know why.
Most likely it's something with the video card. Try updating the drivers to the latest versions. Could be the video card overheating, maybe a problem with RAM. My video card runs like hell when playing any game, the fan spins up and makes my PC sound as loud as a vacuum cleaner.

To rule out the video card, I s'pose ya could try playing in software mode for awhile and see if the problem goes away.
My system behaves as described above (without the reboot) if I plug in my external HDD as eSATA instead of USB.
When it's connected as USB there's no problem at all. But in eSATA the system locks up for a few seconds, every 10 minutes or so. (When that happens in Q2, it's the same audio looping effect as described.)

Stop calling then!
When Q2 use to 'hang up' on me it was sound related. Some kind of conflict with my sound driver and Quake 2... the fix ended up being changing my frequency to anything but 44hz... that was with my $200 sound card... recently i ripped it outta my machine and im back to 44hz using onboard. Sound cards are a waste of money...

I don't worship the devil. Jesus is Lord, friend. He died for your sins. He will forgive you if you just ask.
