I just completed a new build and everything is running perfect except for one odd issue.. This issue doesn't happen all the time and so far has only happened 4 times while I was on the computer. Ever so often while using the computer it will hang for 3-4 seconds and then resume back to normal. One thing that I do notice is that after the freeze is over I will hear one of my hard drives spin up.
Here are the occurrences that I do remember
First temp. freeze - playing game and after a mission was completed the system hung for 3-4 seconds
Second temp. freeze - watching a movie from my computer and it hung for 3-4 seconds randomly
third freeze - playing a game (older game that my old system played perfect) and the game hung for 3-4 seconds
Could this be one of my storage drives randomly seeking and so the system hangs while it spins up to speed and then resumes as normal? (if so, is there a way to disable the drive completely until I need to access it?) Or does the system briefly hang and so it all shuts down and those are really my main drives spinning back up to resume normal use?
