Hey all
Not sure what it is, but recently my pc has been having random slow downs.
I mean, even as I type this (im not that fast a typer lol) but it freezes and then catches up with itself.
I'm running a e6700 at 3ghz and 4gb of ram.
My kaspersky occasionally as a mechanical cog next to it when the freeze occurs, but it also happens randomly too.
I've also noticed when playing games I get a freeze then like a 2fps for about 6 seconds and then everything catches up.
Any ideas what it could be? I've not had this problem before, and the pc is freshly formatted with over 75% free.
Hard drive is a samsung f2 1tb.
could it be anything of windows 7 features such as defrag etc running?
all help appriciated.

Will check it out, but often the hard drive reads when it slows down... as if i'm accessing tb's of data lol... so wonder if it something to do with the hard drive?
