At the moment I'm so fed up with my computer that I just want to throw it out the window. Long story short, my computer can browse the web fine but once it came to game, my computer would spike for a good 1-2 seconds or even 6+ seconds. I can't even alt tab from Warcraft3 to my desktop without having a black screen for 5 seconds. I assumed my video card was overheating so I put a high powered fan next to my open case. All the components in my computer went down including my gfx card, but the same problem still persisted. I've already scanned my computer with numerous different kinds of virus/spyware software and they all came with no detection.

Can this also be a RAM problem? One stick of ram already went totally dead and remaining stick still gives me problem by not booting completely about 3 out of 5 times by not giving me the "beep" when booting up.

Dude you just found the source of your problem. Try replacing the RAM, and see if it persists.

My dead ram is in the process of RMA. Hopefully that ram is functional and get rid of this ordeal. I'm just wondering if it's something else.
 
The RAM would be my first suspect if it's giving you problems :)
