Recently my Windows 7 64 bit PC has started freezing/hanging for a second or two and then going back to normal operations. It will happen no matter what I am doing, be it web browsing, gaming, watching videos, etc, and I as far as I can tell it happens completely randomly. The computer was built mid March and the issue only started happening recently.
DxDiag
And this is everything I have done that I can remember so far to try and fix the issue, or at least find the cause for it.
Anything at all that could help me resolve the issue or find out what's causing it would be greatly appreciated.
I also forgot to mention that while watching any flash videos using any internet browser I will randomly lose sound. But it will return if I unfullscreen-fullscreen it again, or if I pause then play the video. This also has only started happening recently and happens randomly. Sometimes I only get 1 'mute' per video, other times it happens every 5-10 seconds after I fix it.
