    Computer freezes once in a while for a few seconds then goes back to normal while there is disk activity at the time of the freeze. Any idea why?

    I tried to bring down most services, to try to get the disk out of sleep routines, to get it out of indexing of windows, but still no go. I suspect it's low level I/O related but can it be fixed? Or at least workarounded.
