Vista - Vista freeze up?

Inotice a few times a day, Vista Home Premium will freeze up or at
least I think it is freezing up for 30 seconds or so. I notice the
hard drive light is lit when this occurs. Could this be the Vista
Index Service doing its thing? I have plenty of memory, a good video
card and a Vista score of 44 so I don't think it's my Dell Dimension
9100. In addition, I dual boot with XP and this problem does not
occur when XP is running.

What do you guys think? Thanks everyone.

There are a number of Active Tasks scheduled by Vista. Many are
Triggered actions and some wait for a system idle time before they
run. The problem doesn't sound like Indexing. It is designed to be a
low priority service that wouldn't account for a system pause/lag. I
would check the System Event log for error(s).
You can also check the "Active Tasks" for Scheduler using the MS
Management console.

Can you be a little more specific about what I should be looking for
in the system log. I can't seem to make heads or tails out of it.
