Hey guys,

I have no idea what is causing this...but it's fuckin' driving me insane! My computer will randomly hang, mostly in Firefox..it'll starts "Not Responding" for aprox 30 seconds, winamps music will skip, CPU useage jumps to around 100% and then it stops.

Once it happens once, it'll keep happening at random intervals.

I have run ccleaner, spybot, avira, and comodo...all find nothing at all.

Specs:

Vista Home Premium 64-bit
E8400 @ 3.0ghz stock with S1283/w bracket 26c idle, 39c load
GAP45-UD3P mobo
4850x2 - 39c idle, 60c load
corsair 550w modular PSU
8gb g.skill ddr2 800mhz/w dominator cooler
coolermaster HAF 932 case all stock fans replaced with 3000rpm Ultra Kaze fans + fan controller
x2 seagate 250gb HDs in raid 0

Here is a screenshot of my currently running process:

Here is all my other goodies...

[Testing the RAM]
Download Memtest+ v2.10 or whatever the latest version is, unzip it, burn the ISO file to a CD, and then boot from it, just like you would do with the XP/Vista install CD. Let Memtest+ run for at least three hours on each stick of RAM separately as well as test the RAM all together. Go for a full 24 hours if you want to be completely sure that the RAM is not a problem. If you start seeing errors, than your RAM is defective or you have incorrect settings for the RAM.

[Testing the Hard drive]
Download the CD image of Hitachi Drive Fitness Test, burn the ISO file to a CD, and then boot from it, just like you would do with the XP/Vista install CD. Test the hard drive and see if any problems are found. DFT will run on most manufacturers' hard drives. Alternatively, you can use Seagate's SeaTools for DOS to test a Seagate or Maxtor drive. For a Western Digital drive, you could use Data Lifeguard Tools for DOS to test a Western Digital drive.
 
Thanks Danny.

Sorry for not including this.

I haven't done memtest or that yet, but I have been P95 stable for 24 hours with Large FFT and Blend test =\
 
Memtest and Hitachi drive test both came back fine!

Grrr, I almost wanted something to be wrong.
 
Vista's only been installed for less then a month, I shouldn't need to defrag yet right? lol

CCleaner comes back clean on the registry as well.

Think their could be some incompatibilities with Avira and Comodo?
 
Highly doubt defragging will do anything worthwhile for his problem, but you should defrag after any "big" installs. I have mine set for daily.
 
I did a repair in Vista, going to defrag now...will report back!

Thanks for all the help everyone, stay [H]ard!
