How come this "Idle" Process is taking up 98-99 of my CPU space at some points? I wouldn't care but I think it might have something to do with the fact that my computer occassionaly starts to freeze every 30 seconds or so for a period of ~5 seconds!!!

Whats with this System Idle Process! Its NOT idle!
 
System Idle Process has nothing to do with your PC freezing. this process just gives the CPU a loop to run when the computer is doing nothing and it takes up very little memory. it's supposed to take up the amount of CPU that is not being used so don't worry about it.
 
I just wanted to back subdivizion up on the above post. The above is correct. You don't need to worry about it. :)

Well if my comp is freezing and the system idle process is the only program doing anything, what could it be?

The comp doesn't freeze during intense gaming, its usually just during websurfing and other simple programs, so it's not overheating.
