My G2S freezes up for 10-20 seconds and is going full speed on my harddrive and i cant do anything while this is happening, am i typing while this happens the text comes on the screen after it is done on the harddrive.
It happens mostly when i play WoW but it also happens when i am browsing websites.
This was happening on Windows Vista 32 bit ultimate.
I have now made a completely clean install windows 7 with the newest drivers and the problem persists.

i fear a hardware problem so bad it cant be fixed... and the warrenty just ran out....

If anyone knows what is wrong i would love the feedback

Regards

Arcash

I had a similar problem. I opened it up an there was so much dust on the heat sink it was clogged. I had to suck it out with a vacum cleaner. You might want to check that out. Ever since that happened I think it still has over heating problems.
Good luck.

Bring up Task Manager and find out what the CPU usage is.
