Freeze ups

[cowboy]

It's back...

I get the hard freeze or hang up, whatever you call it, where the vista circle is spinning, and for 2-3 min you can't do anything. Then all goes back to normal.

This was happening quite a bit a few months ago.
I installed more Ram, and ran a pc cleaner, which helped, wasn't getting any for a while. Now I get them now and then.

Any ideas on what this is ? I think it has to do with system usage etc. someone said maybe virtual memory.....
Any tweaks I can do ?

Vista home premium - service pack 2
Intel (R) CPU 2160 @1.8 Ghz 1.8 ghz
Memory 3.0 GB
32 bit

Any Ideas ?

Since it goes back to normal after a couple of minutes, it is just a process causing the system to freeze. All you can do is try to narrow down which process it is. Process Explorer can help with that. But there isnt any tweaks that can save a system from a process causing this reaction. It isnt a permanent freeze. So it isnt completely detrimental to the system. It is just an inconvience. Which most people will say is the core of Vista itself.
