Annoying Lag/Temporary Freeze Every Couple Minutes.

Like mentioned in the Title, Every few minutes or so my Laptop (Which I believe is a Gateway Platinum Edition) Will Lag or freeze whatever you wanna call it for about 10 seconds. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Try running virus and spyware scanners to remove any spyware / viruses and infections and any infections processes that may be using up your CPU

Try AVG, adaware, ewido to check for malware as mentioned above

You can also test your hard drive for errors by hitting start - run - type "chkdsk /r"
