Vista - Vista Periodically Freezes Temporarily

For some reason, every few minutes all of my programs will stop responding and I cannot do anything besides minimize windows and then after about 30 seconds or so it'll correct itself. Seems to happen most often when I'm browsing the internet, however I don't think it's the browser as it A. Works fine on another computer running Vista and B. Worked fine until recently.

I tried running sfc /scannow and it says there are some errors that vista could not fix, so I'm running chkdsk right now to see if that will help. Occassionally when I'm starting up there will be a message saying that some system files are corrupt, but booting off of the vista disc and running repair doesn't seem to fix this and I can still log in to my desktop and do things.

Clearly something is corrupt but I have no idea how to fix it, I would like to avoid running system restore if at all possible however as this problem seems to just come back when I try to fix it. ( I did a clean install of Vista last night and still, everything worked fine until I installed Bittorrent... but bittorrent works fine on my other computer so I don't understand what's causing it)

Your computer doesn't like Bittorrent,
Remove it.

Okay so I use system restore to go back to when it was working, no idea if bittorrent did cause it or not so I haven't reinstalled it.

i have the same problem but mine started right after i installed my printer. I uninstalled everything related to my printer but the freezes still come just as often.
