Hi there,

not sure if i'm posting this in the right area but here goes. My computer has started freezing every 10-20 seconds for about 2 seconds and then resumes. It's quite infuriating! The mouse and cursor just seem to stick but it doesn't affect when I play media files. I've checked the task manager and it doesn't look to be linked to CPU usage and also did a virus scan with McAfee without any luck. I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks

I would also scan your PC for spyware/malware using...

Spybot; Search & Destroy ~ http://www.safer-networking.org/en/spybotsd15/index.html

and

SuperAntiSpyware ~ http://www.superantispyware.com/
