My system will briefly freeze for about 8 sec throughout the day.
By freeze I mean that my keyboard and mouse inputs stop, though task manager seems to keep recording.

It may go hours without one then do several over a 30 min span, so it is hard to tell if I have a solution. I have disconnected any usb devices, closed anything in task manager that is not needed.

The only thing of value I noticed was that when I open a program ,TM shows both cores( c2duo) spike to 90%. When I get a freeze only one core spikes to 100, the other is flat. Also the spike is very fast though the freeze lasts much longer.

Any ideas appreciated. thank you

I would look first at some software which is running.

I had a similar experience lately and the cause was my new Logitech mouse. But since you disconnected all USB devices, that won't be the case for you.

Another cause for freezes from my experience is the video card driver.

every bit of software that is not needed to run is closed.

the mouse and keyboard are usb but if I remove those I cant tell if its running. Both are basic plain types.

I am going to remove network cable tomorrow. I am looking for decent ideas since I realize this is hit or mostly miss.
