Random Freezes new laptop?
Randomly the whole laptop will freeze up for a few seconds.
After I restart it won't happen for like hours, then randomly start again every 3 or 5 minutes then maybe have a 20min gap then freeze again.
I opened task manager and watched what happened when it did it and the idle went from 99 to about 86 cpu and then 'System' with the description of 'nt kernal & system' went to about 13 cpu.
I also noticed on my cpu gadget, a couple of cores shot right up to 100% for those seconds the laptop was frozen and the fan speeds up very slightly.
I haven't really narrowed it down to any specific programs, but I do use Daws (digital audio workstations) although the laptop should handle it, plus it still does it when nothing is running.
Another notable, but probably not related, is that when i'm typing the marker will randomly jump back a few lines or so cutting up what I write.
Its a new laptop, which was shipped with oem and bloatware, so I used win 7 dvd to fresh install over the top.
Acer 5755g
i7 2670qm
8gb ram
GT 630m 2gb
Any ideas?
Thanks guys
