freeze effect on OpenGL games ..

i tried to run Half-Life and Jedi Knight 2 and i get exactly the same effect on both of them.
i enter the game. everything’s fine for about 2 seconds, then the game freezes. after about 10 seconds of freeze, i can move again, for 1-2 seconds, then the freeze effect repeats itself the same as before.
I tried Diablo2 (D3D) and everythin seems to be fine, so i assume it’s only OpenGL games…

i’ve got DX9 and latest graphic card drivers installed… i have no idea what to do next.

any ideas ??

my comp details:
P3 733
400MB
GeForce4 4200 Ti 128MB
