why does this little rotating aqua blue ring appear when my pc freezes
for anywhere from 5-10 seconds my computer will freeze & this little rotating aqua blue ring will appear. then the screen (browser that i have open) blinks & returns to normal.

does this have anything to do with windows 7?
Well it is built into win 7 and it means the computer is "busy" possible to little ram.
We might be able to be more help if you told us your system specs including ram.

Several ways
If you give us the make and model we can look up the standard configuration.
Also there are 3rd party applications (free) that can gather all the information for you.

I keep throwing upgrades at it and it keeps on ticking. Think I've done everything to it that can be done outside a PSU upgrade so I can run an even BETTER GPU.
that little ring is part of the mouse pointer scheme. it shows that ring when you're computer if busy.
