I have a Dell laptop w/dual core and 4 gigs of memory. Recently my machine has started to go off in never never land for 5 to 20 minutes at a time with a lot of hard drive churning. Eventually it comes back and everything operates properly.
If I manage to have task manager up CPU usage shows no more then 3 to 5% during this process.
I am on a corporate network and have very good virus protection in place.
The problem seems to have increased in frequency since I let an update happen to IE8 and/or I started using hibernate more frequently.
Any ideas or suggestions?
TIA
