My PC freezes in every few minutes, stays like that for 2-3 seconds and then works fine again. The mouse cursor also do not move at that time. This happens in every 10-12 minutes. Does not matter what program I am using or watching movies this happens in every 10-12 minutes.
I have 2 operating system, Win 8.1 and Win 7. This problem happens in both operating system.
I have 2 Hard Disc, Samsung 500 GB Hard disc, Toshiba 1 TB. Both operating systems are in the 1 TB Hard disc.
