Hey guys, My friends seems to be having some problems with his PC, every 5 minutes his PC completely freezes for 2-5 seconds and then unfreezes.

His specs are;
Windows 7 Home Prem 64 bit
Intel core i5 4690 @ 3.5 GHz
8GB DDR3 @ 532MHz
gigabyte technology co., ltd. h81m-h
4096MB ATI AMD Radeon R9 200 Series Sapphire
931Gb Seagate ST1000DL 002-9TT153 SCSI
 


Have you ran an antivirus / malware test recently?

Install this and see what comes up: https://www.malwarebytes.org/antimalware/

Also, I would download and run this (and registry cleaner) because it is a MASSIVE help: https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download
