All of a sudden... Lag/choppy play in single player

All right, just recently bought a new computer, prefectly able to run TQ: IT at its highest abilitis, never any running issues other than every once in a while the game randomly quits and returns me to the desktop. That I can handle, just builds up a little more experience as I work to the next rebirth fountain.

Now for some reason though I work my way through Hades, activate the warp thing for the Tower of Judgement and as soon as I walk to where the floor is floating with the green lightning in Domain 5, it lags... and doesn't stop. It will freeze for a second, then speed up as if I were playing at 3x the speed then freezes again. I managed to do all five domains like that hoping to get past it and into normal terrain and see if it stops. Unfortunately Cerebus is kicking my ass because I have no time to react or move with any purpose around him or out of his way to attack him. I dumbed down all the graphic qualities and the resolution but had no different results.

Anyone have any ideas as to what I could do or change? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks. Here are my computer specs if it is of any help:

Dell XPS 410
Intel Dual Core 6600 @ 2.4 GHz
4 GB RAM
GeForce 8800 GTX - 768 mb
32 bit Vista
320 GB Hard disk

Yah, should be good, again thanks for any help.

Nothing wrong with your system and nothing you can really do about this due to the fact that it's the games programming. Tower of Judgement for some reason is the laggiest area in all of IT, but luckily there's only 5 levels.

Ok.... nevermind.... I went to quit the game, it froze, restarted, and now that I'm at the beginning of the first domain, it runs perfectly smooth, unless I warp to the last portal and walk down to the beginning of domain five, it all starts back up again and gets the lag again. Well, nevermind, but seriously, what the hell was that about?

Well see if it stays smooth all the way through to cerebus, with no time to move/react, I get smoked right away, kinda killing my XP
