This started happening about a week ago, my computer will be fine for a few hours or even all day, then it will just start freezing for about 9-10 seconds. After the freeze everything is normal for about 5 minutes, then it repeats. During this, if I do anything with Explorer, Explorer crashes. It just goes solid white and says "not responding". If I try to restart it hangs during the "shutting down" phase and I have to hit the reset button my my PC case.
I have tried closing all programs, removing unnecessary items from Startup, running multiple virus and malware scans, defragmenting several times. Nothing seems to stop this from happening. I have also looked at the Task Manager information during the freezes. I don't see any spikes in memory or CPU usage. I have also run Core Temp and don't see anything abnormal with the CPU temperature. Just now I thought I'd do a system restore, but for some reason my only restore point listed is from yesterday.
Anyone have any ideas?
My specs: 2.4GHZ 64bit Quad Core, 6GB RAM, Vista Ultimate x64, GeForce 8800 GTS
