I might have found the problem,I'm running a 32 bit windows and can't update to 64 so it's only using 3gb of ram instead of 8,would that do it?

The 32-bit version of windows is limited to 4gb of ram. There's nothing you can do about it except to upgrade to the 64-bit version.

Good place to start. Even if it's not the problem, you should install 64bit, anyway.

Check the ram usage while you are playing and find out for yourself if thats the cause. We can't tell you for sure since we cant see your usage numbers or anything.

You should check ram usage when playing
