so this is actually a thread not about my new compter, but my parents year and a half old gateway that i use. so the problem is it keeps freezing for like 10 seconds or so and then will go back to normal. very annoying. i think its an...
Intel Pentium 4 2.4GHz
80GB HD with like 12GB's left
and i think 256MB RAM

anyone know why this keeps happening?

Are you using BT with that? BT is a pain in the arse when it comes to CPU usage

P2P Networking
What program is this associated with?

cisvis
Microsoft Index Service Helper. You can probably disable this by disabling the Indexing feature on for your HDDs

flashfxp
You might consider disabling this if it autostarts with windows and you dont need it to be running all the time.

Try to "not run stuff" one at a time until maybe we can narrow down what app is causing the cpu to die :)
