Computer freezes

Ok this problem gas been going on for about a month or 2. My computer freezes every 62 seconds for about 2 seconds and then resumes like normal. It will do this if im just listening to mp3's or watching videos, surfing the net, playing games or just moving the mouse on the desktop. It don't matter what is happening, it will still do it and then resume and work fine till the 60 or so seconds is up and then rinse and repeat.

I have formatted and reinstalled xp pro and it worked fine for about a week or so with no problems at all until one day it started and has ever since. Now I'm just fed up and cant take it no longer. Any ideas?

I have tried to lower the oc to default and no change.

And ideas or questions fire away please.

Maby a driver isue.

Have you checked the Event Viewer? Might give you an idea what is happening.

are you current on all updates ?

bios, chipset drivers, xp updates

have you ran memtest for memory errors ? any test for cpu ?

does checkdisk and a defrag help the problem for a short period of time if at all ?

do you have all antivirus, firewall, and spyware tools ?



how do you have your xp installed (what partion - etc...)
do you custom set your pagefile ?
