Periodically my Demi-God game will just freeze anywhere from a few seconds to several minutes.  I run it on a gateway laptop i bought last july, FX is edition or style or brand thats put on it, anyways its black and orange.  I do have a fan board to keep it running cool and it barely gets warm to the touch on the top and bottom.  I have vista on this laptop, thats what came with it.  Not sure my drivers are updated but didnt know if anyone else was experiencing this problem at all.
