Posting for my own easy reference. Don't mind me.

I've tried:

• Raising priority
• Switching from shaders/direct to shaders/copy
• hardware/direct to hardware/copy
• disabling demo recording
• updating GFX drivers
• toggling vsync
• disabling windows update
• updating windows
• ensured DMA was enabled
• Cleaned computer/heatsinks/fans
• Re-seated all connections on motherboard (RAM, GPU, CPU, SATA Cables)
• moved MX Sim drive from SATA 2 to SATA 3 port
• disabled page file
• ensured enable write caching was enabled

Have you tried running HDD diagnostics programs?

There's also some softwares from the manufacturers themselves, but those seem to work with most of the brands.

Used both methods and it didn't affect it at all, still keeps freezing. I can move my mouse and press keys its just the frame that freezes.

Have you disabled demo recording?

[ktm125cooper]

I have record demo on because i want to make edits, when its off the game works fine.

In Device Manager, what do the advanced settings for the drive look like?

[ktm125cooper]

Is that under IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers? Or disk drives?

[jlv]

IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers.

I've had this happen many times. Especially during laggier tracks.
