    Computer freezes randomly during use, everything locks up for 1-2 mins


    Hi guys:

    Recently I have seen a new problem crop up with Win 7.

    The computer will completely freeze, does not respond to keyboard, mouse cursor locks up, no response whatsoever. This will last somewhere between 1 and 2 minutes, then everything will return to normal. Happens a few times a day.

    Doesn't matter which program I am running, even on an empty home screen it will do it. I had Performance Monitor open, and it does not seem to be tied to CPU usage. The CPU does not go to 100% during the episode, nor did disk usage.

    Checked temperatures on CPU, it's steady at 39 degrees.

    How would I find out what is causing this? Let me know if you need more info.

    Thanks.
