So, this problem started like a week back... What happens is that my comp (desktop) freezes for like 5 secs in say like 12-15 min breaks. No matter what I am doing ( writing docs, browsing internet, playing games ). There is no characteristic sounds from CPU when these 'freezes' take place. Has anyone ever faced similar problems? And can someone please point out the possible things that might have happen or some remedial methods to fix it .?
