Hi,

I´m sorry I post again, but I figured maybe it was the wrong section I posted first.

I decided to buy a computer and build it myself. Everything works fine except for one thing... The computer freezes/lags for about 1-2 second when I´m browsing through internet, I´m using Google Chrome right now, everything just freezes but comes back to normal after 2 seconds, it´s more like a lag. It occurs about every hour or so, . What could this be? Could it be the harddrive, or something else? So far I´ve only experienced it when using internet Google Chrome but I haven´t had much time to try out the computer. I know it´s almost impossible to know the cause of this, but perhaps someone experienced something similar and know the solution?

I had the update the BIOS because apparently it was outdated for using GTX 670, the bios works with 670 after updating it though... my thought was, perhaps it´s something to do with the video card but who knows.

My PC spec is:
Core i5-3570K
GA-Z77X-UD5H Motherboard
XXX Edition 650W 80+ Bronze
Barracuda 2TB 7200RPM
GTX 670 OC Direct CU 2
 
I guess to start make sure all of your bios are updated. Then go back and make sure you are running the latest drivers as well. After that, if it's still happening, then start checking the Windows logs and look for funky events. Also while all of this is going on, monitor your temps and try reducing any OC you have to try and eliminate the issue.
