Lag spike / computer freezes

Sometimes when I game, the FPS drops way low to 10 and below then goes back up after around 10-15 seconds. Sometimes my computer (just casually browsing or surfing web or even just looking using the computer in general) just freezes for about 10 seconds and return back to its normal state.
When I game, the GPU (MSI Afterburner) temperature doesn't go anywhere higher than 70 degrees max, usually between 45-60
I've tried changing game graphics / switching windowed mode to full screen mode, it didn't really change much.
Can someone please help me out with this :(

I have an AMD FX(tm)-4100 Quad-core Processor @ 3.60GHz
GeForce GTX 560
8.00 GB Ram
